Hi Arjen:

I have responded already to your fortran report with a bug fix, but I
respond here also to the above C issue you discovered.

I get a similar error for

examples/c/x01c -dev xwin

but not for the valgrind-clean variant I checked before

examples/c/x01c -dev psc -o test.psc

I have no idea why the former form does not work while the latter form
works perfectly in all regards, but I will definitely look into this
weird difference between these two different parsing results.
