I figured out the answer to my own question. In this script file, there
is a function "make_devpts()" defined near the top of the script. What
should have been the closing curly brace for this function was
incorrectly another opening brace, hence the syntax error. I changed the
"{" on line 16 of the script to "}" and all is well again.
