POV 3.5 RC5 icl on WinNT Sp 6 PII 233 with 128 MB

When I try following (illegal according to documentation) script:

  #local P=pigment{facets}

then I recieve useless/wrong error message:

  #local P=pigment{facets <----ERROR
  Parse Error: Keyword 'bump_map' can only be used in a normal statement.
