The problem has been fixed for this particular document.  More work is necessary in order to systematically avoid segfaults on erroneous documents.  I did implement some basic error recovery though, so brutal crashes should become increasingly rare.

Since the warning is in the docs, this is very low priority.

If you read the documentation thoroughly you are warned:

"TEXMACS syntax (...) is not designed to be hand-edited: whitespace has complex semantics and some internal structures are not obviously presented. Do not edit documents (and especially style files) in the TEXMACS syntax unless you know what you are doing."

So my suggestion of making the parser more tolerant to white spaces and formatting was just because of ignorance.

Still, I agree with the initial report : An invalid input should only generate an error and never a brutal crash.

Confirmed with the file submitted.

The explaination is : for human legibility the user has inserted line breaks and tabs in the texmacs code of tables. This indeed crashes texmacs.

An Xml file is tolerant to this kind of editting. Maybe parsing tm input file should allow for this too?

Loading the attached file makes texmacs crash with segfault.
According to the original bug submitter this is a manually
edited .tm file. It is possible that it is not conform with
texmacs syntax (I did not try to find out wether this is the
case), however, texmacs should not crash with
segfault on any input files.
