Despite what it says, it's not an error (this time). What's happening is that I
had to modify the parsing logic (in parser.yy) by adding a YYABORT when I KNOW
that the command entry is completed. Right after making the 0.19.2 release, I
discovered that the 'load' command in particular must have been skipped and
didn't get the necessary YYABORT. So the parser parses the load command
properly, but then has more information (a new line character) in the parser
buffer, but no parser state that maps to that information. It's really simple to
fix, but right now I'm just not going to have time to do it. Sorry.

I haven't looked at these in quite a while (in over a year). Like over half of
the bugs in gpsim, this one is yet another manifestation of gpsim out growing
itself. In other words, this was working at one time, but while adding some
other new feature I broke it. Damn, I hate it when that happens!
I'll definitely look at this when I get back from my trip.
Regards,
Scott
