It's a "stupid Ron" thing.  My fix to allow semicolons after declarations
instead allowed an infinite recursion to slip in in loops where the only
contents were declarations and other #-directives.  I guess this is why we
don't change the parser on a whim, huh?

Anyway, the fix is on deck.  I couldn't say when it'll be delivered.
