------- Comment #1 from benc at hawaga.org.uk  2007-11-20 13:30 -------
the parser is interpreting the > as the greater-than operator in an expression:

"econ_prob_list.txt" > results  

which is syntactically valid, rather than as the termination of the mapper
declaration. This makes it get a few tokens further along in parsing than
desired in this error reporting case.

Use of > for both termination of mapper declaration and as a valid
in-declaration token is the root cause here, I think.
