Well, it seems to be doing exactly as it should, to me.

Outputting lines 3 & 4 of your test code 'nothing.txt' is

"hello",1,2,
"hello",1,2

which is read correctly.

With lines 2 & 4 you get

"hello",1,2
"hello",1,2

which causes a parsing error when it tries to read the second "hello" 
because it is not preceded by a comma.

So IMHO this works as given in the documentation (ss6.2.3.3).

Bye for now,
	Mike Andrews.
