I think it's a bad idea to just ignore these syntax errors. This affix
file is effectively corrupt, after all, so it seems a bad idea that we
need to cope with it. I think it would be better to raise the error
normally and instruct the user to fix the file; obviously it's better if
the upstream provider of the file fixes it.
Now, if there is proof somewhere that the file is correct, then the code
must cope in some reasonable way. But in any case I don't think this
change is acceptable ... it can only cause pain, in the long run.
