Has anybody seen the error message attached below? I get it

Particularly aggravating is that the first line of the message is
truncated as shown, so that I cannot even locate the file that contains
the alleged error.
*** SML lexical error: missing quote at end of string at /Users/lp1 ...

The system outputs detailed position information, but Proof General 3.7.x
does not provide any start positions to work with.
You can bypass Proof General via use_thy, which should give you the
positions explicitly.
You can also try PG 4.0, which passes source positions, but has many other
problems.
