Sorry, I have to tell my OS: WinNT, ServicePack 6. To extend the file with a blank
line is a brilliant idee, to avoid special processing at the end of the file. I will
this technique use in the future in my own program. I can give you my pmx code, to
verify this behaviour.

In PMX's current state, I cannot reproduce this problem on my system
(Win98). Furthermore, no one else has mentioned it for a very long time.
However, the issue has indeed come up in the distant past, and I attempted a
fix at that time by modifying PMX so that it would internally insert a blank
line in its image of the input file. But for some reason, sometime in the
interim I removed that modification (it must have caused some other problem
somewhere).
I do not plan to address this any further at this time. However, if someone
can provide a clean analysis of exactly what is happening, example files
that reproduce the error, and a specific fix that works in both DOS/WIN and
Linux systems without causing any other problems in either case, I'll
revisit the matter.
Let me suggest another possible cause of the behavior Karsten observed, due
to a flaw in PMX's input checking. If the last input block contains fewer
voices than it should, but if each voice within the last input block is
otherwise OK (meaning syntactically correct and containing the same number
of bars as all the others in that input block), then PMX will silently
ignore all of that input without any error messages.
