+ on the end of a line is the CLI continuation character. I forget where
this was documented but it was there somewhere. This lets you type longer
lines especially to things like Alink and the like. So it isn't a bug
per say. Since this is the only character that causes this behaviour you
could possible assume that if the command line terminated and you still
had two numbers on the stack that you should add them. (Ok, ok, just kidding
you can put away the tomatoes) :-)

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
