The attached test script illustrates some ways in which I've seen
toke_scan_str fail when parsing across multiple lines. I get these
test results:
single_with_filler: success (this is the control case)
single_no_filler: forced to realloc PL_linestr (not a multiline issue)
newline0: suprising len=-12
newline1: suprising len=-11
newline2: success
newline3: success
three_line: content length doesn't match len
The newline-related faults occur when parsing code from a file or from
-e, but not in a string eval. Hence the test script puts the code under
test into a temporary file.
