Description

This code snippet:

{{{
if a
Thread.new

{ while(@current_process) end end }

}}

jruby responds with:
SyntaxError: repro.rb:5: syntax error, unexpected kEND

end

while MRI responds with the slightly more "helpful" error message:
repro.rb:5: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting '}'

Thanks!
