I did some investigation: The code there really suppose that there is always
\n at the end of the line, and truncates the line. It is done in
/* Get location of the ending newline */
end_offset = expr_scanner_offset(sstate) - 1;
just two lines above the code we are discussing.
When you have one line code /sleep 2ms with no "end of line" symbol at the
end, it will cut off "s" instead of "\n"
You've fix it, but now it will leave \n, in all sleeps in multiline scripts.
So this should be fixed in both expr_scanner_get_substring cases, and keep last
symbol only if it is not "\n".

Ok, let's leave this for commiter to make final decision.

I'll try to ask a friend of mine to run this on windows...
