Premature end of file

I just received the following error message:

Quote:

? premature end of file while reading {...}

Actually, I received three copies of the message, and now Singular seems to have hung: I get a dot at the beginning of a line, and can't do anything productive, except quit. Oddly, Singular didn't complain when loading the library, only when I tried to run something.

I think I know what premature end of file means, and I don't doubt that it's an error on my part. Still, I don't understand why I'm getting this. Is it a misplaced brace?

Wow. It was a misplaced brace in a comment. I had,

Code:

// if (size(new_cp[1]) == 2) {

and Singular was confused by that. Is this a bug, or expected behavior?
