#3200 maxima forever calculating on a simple neglect to close quote

[dan hayes]

(for i thru length(lisnp) do ldisp(["i",i,"length(lisnp[i][2])]))

left off the closing quotation mark and instead of giving a parse error It is forever
"maxima is calculating"

[David Scherfgen]

Can't reproduce. In wxMaxima, I get the message "Refusing to send cell to maxima: Unterminated string.". Maxima via command line doesn't do anything but waits for me to complete the input.

Leaving off a quotation mark should not cause a parse error. Strings can span multiple lines.

I'm closing this as wont-fix.
