What do you mean with "terminal boundary"?

Do you mean the "boundary" token? If so... I am not sure if this is

Okay, I guess I have to wait then.

Thanks for acknowledging the bug. I think I can sleep better now :)

I'll try my best, but when I stepped through the code I did not
understand a lot. :-/
