Welcome to Asymptote version 0.91 (to view the manual, type help)
runtime: camp: Cannot open file ".asy_input".
fatal flex scanner internal error--end of buffer missed
----------------------------------------

>From a little experimentation, it seems that the program is trying to
read a history file in the current directory.  This is bad practice;
history files are, by convention, kept in the user's home directory.
Please don't clutter the file system!

Peace,
