Hello!

My REPL crashes on some syntactic errors. This didn't happen when I
was using the Ubuntu package, but a fresh build (using 'rakudobrew
build moar'). When I asked on #perl6, I was told that this might be a
recent regression, and that I should file a bug report, so here we go​:

$ uname -a
Linux asus 4.4.0-36-generic #​55-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11 18​:01​:55 UTC
2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ perl6 -v
This is Rakudo version 2016.08.1-71-g685cc5a built on MoarVM version 2016.08
implementing Perl 6.c.
$ perl6
You may want to `panda install Readline` or `panda install Linenoise`
or use rlwrap for a line editor

To exit type 'exit' or '^D'

sub }
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling​:
Missing block
------> sub ⏏}
  expecting any of​:
  new name to be defined

At this point, the REPL exits. This also hapens with similiar
syntactic erros, this is just an easily reproducible example.

Regards,

Daniel

Thanks for the quick fix, but I think there's still something wrong​:

sub }
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling​:
Missing block
------> sub ⏏}
  expecting any of​:
  new name to be defined
1+1
