I see the problem. In the current version of that file (I'm not sure about older versions), many of those case statements in/around line 6941 are literal control characters embedded in a string. Windows and DOS treat the Ctrl-Z (SUB) character as EOF (holdover from CP/M days), so Nelgin's likely right.

Even though your viewer/editor might show case "SUB" or case "^Z" it's actually a literal control character in the file and that's not kosher JS.
