It would clearly be more helpful if it said
	syntax error before: end of file.

Grepping in the sources, I see a lot of
	["syntax error before: ", yecctoken2string(Token)]
occurrences.  It looks as though
	yecctoken2string({'$end',_}) -> [];
could be replaced by
	yecctoken2string({'$end',_}) -> "end of file";

If I'm right about where this is coming from, there are
lots of instances of it and they should probably all be
fixed.
