With this kind of bug, it would be very helpful if you could
send me (by email) the offending code (which I would obviously
not broadcast around). It's very hard to nail parser bugs
without precisely set-up conditions.

Having said that, release 5/12 (coming soon) does fix about
a dozen obscure parser bugs (in particular "all" works rather
more slickly).
