That would be sad... Actually if you don't know the answer then I suppose I can't do anything about this issue :-) Gotta use another approaches like \i. However I have to add that this glitch could happen after five lines or twenty lines, not really looks like some hard limit of something. Initially I suspected that "INSERT 0 1" answers after each statement got in the way, but `\set QUIET` didn't solved this problem.
