PrimalScript 2019 crashing when I open a specific script

I am trying to open a script file that I have edited in PrimalScript for years. It is just a collection of snippets - it doesn't actually do anything by itself. Now, every time I open the file PrimalScript crashes. I tried opening the file in a text editor and copy/pasting sections in and it starts crashing. I cannot see anything that looks odd. I can paste the first 312 lines in fine, but when I paste line 313 which is "Stopped wsearch Windows Search" without the quotes, it crashes. There are no special characters - the whitespace is spaces and I have even re-typed the line. It is also not specific to that line of text - I can paste in other chunks of code and it will also crash.

I am running version 7.6.133.0, 64-bit on Windows 10 64-bit.

I have attached a file containing the first 360 or so lines of code. If I just open that file, PrimalScript crashes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Obviously it should not crash, and that will be fixed right away.

But the script is not really a functioning script, it contains pieces of output like:

which causes the syntax checker to just go boom because it becomes overwhelmed with the number of error messages.

No, it's not a functioning script. It's a bunch of snippets of code - more like a cheat sheet, including the output of commands.

But that would explain why it crashes when just insert some plain text - it's still trying to interpret it as PS code and generates more errors, overwhelming it.

Ah, I understand. Well, the crash will be fixed. You can disable syntax checking and it will prevent the crash until the fix is out.
