On our Prime computers, the Pascal compiler pulls a good one every
now and then.  For instance, when it encounters a parser error, its
recovery procedure will read and skip tokens until it ends up at a
semicolon.  The message you first receive is "Skipping source until
this point."  Then it comes back and says "Missing semicolon."
Pushed back one too many characters, eh?
