I get strange compiler errors at times.  Sometimes they go away after a 
few applies.  If not, I get rid of all the trailing "blank" lines.  If 
that doesn't do it, I retype the offending line.  Sometimes this occurs 
after an execution error.

I think this shows up in two or three of reported bugs.

I'm on OS X and I'm using 2.1.  I think Revolution 2.1 for OS X is a 
debug build; maybe that affects error handling.  Or maybe it is just 
the IDE error handling.
