Good catch Russel. Few years ago I had to debug this parser for another
issue and it is awful parser or even worse than awful, so no surprise there
is a problem in your use case. Please, be so kind and log the problem on
bugzilla or in gitea, so that one can take care of it.

Include description and steps to reproduce.

Please refer here the bug/issue number.

Thanks and regards
