Got it in one (1?).  The problem is that '}', ')' and ']' should each
terminate ALL preceding if clauses.  Here is the fix ...

At the very bottom of gram.y in yylex, there are case statements of
the form:

        case ']':
                ifpop();
		...
 
        case RBRACE:
                ifpop();
		...

        case ')':
                ifpop();
		...

These should read

        case ']':
		while(*contextp == 'i')
			ifpop();
		...
 
        case RBRACE:
		while(*contextp == 'i')
			ifpop();
		...

        case ')':
                while(*contextp == 'i')
                        ifpop();

This seems to make Paul's example work.  I will commit this in a minute.
