Maybe, but when your system is dead saying only "syntax error", it is
the only solution I found to restore the situation from osx. Can you
propose a better one ? Knowing that I didn't have a rescue disk at
hand.
To avoid having to use this rescue method, I added this syntax checking
step in my ybin but Ethan does not seem to be interested by patches for
version 1.3.

I don't like to hide a solution. I would rather call it a "last resort
solution" and advise people against using it.

I didn't know neither, but I had no other choice when I was in this
situation.
