That's very possible.  Without a test case, I can't be sure of the fix. 
In any case, I think the test for incorrect formatting should be done
sooner than in collect.c.  If it can't be fixed in lexer_v3.l, the next
best thing is fixing it in token.c, specifically in get_token().  Get me
a test case and I'll take a look.
