I get errors like this all the time in the new parts.  I had to make
it a habit of visually scanning each part file submitted to me just
for that reason.
I am sure that it is not the authors fault.  Long lines have a
tendency to get wrapped in various ways.
I remember I always had a real hard time with Tom Burger's parts -
somehow, his system and mine always seemed to conflict.  Just about
every part he would send me would get mangled.  And since his piece
code looked virtually the same as anyone else's, I just assumed that
something between he and I was screwing it up.

Just run the file through l3p.It tells you where the errors are

Tom's parts were a while before l3p was released.
That does work, but it is not always any easier than just scanning the
file in a text editor.
L3p often will produce a ream of data on errors in the part.  Most of
those errors I have no ability to fix.  So scanning through that data
looking for the simple things I can correct takes longer than looking
through the file itself.  (sigh)

Actually, ldlite can be set to log errors it encounters in a part.  It
doesn't concern itself with the detail of errors that l3p does, so it
might be a better solution for my needs.  I am going to try it and
see.
