Aha.  I think both substitution errors -and- parsing failures ought to
consume the entire remainder of the input.   Consider what happens if
the statement following the error is something destructive like a "rm",
which was e.g. expected to happened in a different directory.

It's also probably a good idea in light of the strange way the results
end up in the history on a parse error.
