st: bug (?) in -syntax- command

["Zurab Sajaia" <zsajaia@hotmail.com>]

Dear all,

I was wandering if anyone has encountered similar problem,  when unbalanced 
brackets cause -syntax- to duplicate options. This happens in both 9th and 
10th versions.

It will be the easiest to show this by example:

program define test
    syntax [, *]

   display `"`options'"'
end


.test,  opt1("(some text") opt2

opt1("(some text") opt2 opt2

-syntax- line can contain may more options but this happens all the time.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks,
Zurab
