 I managed to get this bug too (with some "help" from Kent :-) and I must admit it bugged me for hours until I tracked it down to a single-byte buffer overflow in the line continuation function (which is used pretty frequently). Yes, its a suprise it works this good in spite of that! :-)

 I have sent the fix for that to Kent for inclusion in beta3.
