Re: Incorrect LINENO with exported nested functions with loops

[Tom Coleman]

You are correct that FOR loops increment the word_top variable in the
read_token_word function, but, ARITH_FOR_EXPRS loops do not. They are
treated separately and do not increment the word_top variable from what I
can see.

#define FOR 265
#define ARITH_FOR_EXPRS 286
