The following script gives a parser error:

for ( $i = 0;  $i < $k;  $i++; ) {  ...  }

Removing the semicolon after $i++ fixes it:

for ( $i = 0;  $i < $k;  $i++ ) {  ...  }

How the heck is this a bug?  The 'for' construct is defined as for(expr;expr;expr) { }  An extra semi-colon does not match this definition.  Find me another language with a C-style for-construct that will accept your syntax and I will give you a cookie.
