Issue1365

this was reported as an addendum to issue 1354 where the original issue
was resolved, but this specific issue wasn't.

Jython 2.5rc3+ (trunk:6440, Jun 3 2009, 16:56:43) 
[OpenJDK Client VM (Sun Microsystems Inc.)] on java1.6.0_0

$ jython/dist/bin/jython continuation.py
This is a rather long string containing
several lines of text just as you would do in C.
    Note that whitespace at the beginning of the line is significant.

$ jython/dist/bin/jython <continuation.py

NOTE: same thing happens when typing the text into the interactive
interpreter, but it's easier to demonstrated reading the text on stdin
from a file.

i presume this is a parser problem like issue 1354 since the problem is
only seen when parsing input from the interactive interpreter.

woops thought I had that one fixed

I've confirmed this bug.  It is nasty enough that it may involve some
redesign of the lexer (or creating a separate lexer for PartialParser).
 Since this only happens for interactive mode I think it does not have
to block 2.5.0, but should get addressed for 2.5.1.

Fixed in r6512

Using 2.5.1rc1, copy (or type) the following code on windows 32 using 
jre 1.6.0_14 into the interactive console:

for i in range(ITER):
   chain = Chain(40)
   chain.kill(3)
   end = time.time()

What i get is a never ending console that won't let me end the for 
loop.

Or effectively the output (note the extra ...'s are me hitting return 
repeatedly hoping for the for loop to eventually end being defined):
>>> for i in range(ITER):
...    chain = Chain(40)
...    chain.kill(3)
... end = time.time()
...
...
