The following console program (with a slight typo) drives the compiler ballistic.

program Project3;

begin Writeln('Hello); Readln; end.

Can you give more information? Backend version (gpc -v)? OS (uname -a)? Compiler output or behaviour? Etc.

I believe he is using my Mingw binary (with the bundled DevPascal Win32 IDE).

My gpc-20050331 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, based on gcc-3.4.3, gives a proper error message:

foo.pas:4: unterminated string or character constant foo.pas:4: possible real start of unterminated constant

Same here - both from the command line, and in the IDE.
