I was trying to compile up Programandala's Alien-A program.
If I do zxb --asm Alien-A.bas - it compiles to source code just fine.
If I do the usual -T -B -a --debug-array --debug-memory Alien-A.bas it reports "Alien-A.bas:146: Error: Syntax error. Unexpected end of line [NEWLINE]"
There's nothing on line 146. There aren't any other errors reported.

; Alien-A
; A game for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
; Copyright (C) 1986,2010 Marcos Cruz (http://programandala.net)

; Alien-A is written in Z80 assembly, but it works the BASIC way:
; UDGs and character resolution movement.
; I hope Alien-A can be useful for someone learning Z80 assembly
; with the ZX Spectrum.
; Alien-A was inspired by a simpler program,
; written in Sinclair Basic and published in the ZX magazine
; (issue 1, pages 14-15, 1983):

; History
; 1986-04-27
; * First working version.
; 1986-04-30
; * Improved with record, number of landing aliens and different aliens; no more need to press fire.
; 1986-05-04
; * Improved with stars, and new graphics inspired by Star Wars. A shield bar is shown instead of the number of landing aliens.
; 1986-06-04
; * Some bugs fixed.
; 1986-06-14
; * No bugs left. Finished.
; 2010-03-23
; * The original source, in GENS3 format, was edited in order to
; compile it with Pasmo (http://arrakis.es/~ninsesabe/pasmo/)
; on Debian GNU/Linux.
; 2010-03-24
; * Several changes in order to make the source easier to read:
; labeled ROM routines and system variables, renamed labels,
; new comments...
; * Cursor keys intead of P-O-Q-R; easier for my Dvorak keyboard layout!
; * A bit faster control key routine.
; * The aim can move diagonally.
; 2010-04-07
; * Better pseudo random numbers routine.
; 2010-04-13
; * First draft of a final effect: screen fade.
; 2010-04-14
; * Fixed: the last landing alien didn't caused the sound effect
; because the shield check was done before it.
; * The sound effects are exchanged: now aliens explode when landing.
; * Final effect: random explosions.
; * Improved: the scenery field appears quickly.
; 2010-04-15
; * Fixed: the aim flickering has been solved.
; * Final effect finished.
; * Improved: two dicker lines in the field lines.
; 2010-04-21
; * Improved: pause between the final effect and the menu, with blank screen.
; 2010-04-24
; * Improved: texts in three languages: English, Esperanto and Spanish.
; * Changed: the bar shield is printed in one single color, and it flashes when short (instead of the text).
; 2010-04-27
; * New character set, designed by Alan Grier (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=001171) in 1986, a bit modified by me.

; To do
; Check: Text positions.
; Improve: definable keys.
; Improve: don't print the "score" text every time the score changes.
; Fix: the shooted aliens not always get red. Maybe a emulator issue?
