Probably more accurate to think of it as readline reporting to tokenizer in
some unanticipated way. Originally thought this had to do with the way I
tried to play with newlines. Now not so sure - as playing some within the
Povray SDL output code sees to have fixed things. For example I had a line
with nothing more on it than

}

On purpose.

Moving that to the end of the previous line (I'll live) seemed to get me
past the tokenizer problem for that file.

But of course in moving it up I was also effecting newlines.

So maybe that is what solved it.
