Replying to myself again:
In DCH_processor (formatting.c), it doesn't seem to stop if it's in the
middle of processing nodes but runs off the inout string, should the for
loop be something like:
for (n=node,s=inout;n->type!=NODE_TYPE_END && *s!='\0';++n,++s) {
and get rid of the ++s at the bottom of the loop for safety?
