Yep, it looks like that was the problem.

I solved this by cherry-picking commit 3070a37 from the dsmith/interactive
branch (where I had already fixed this problem). This commit adds a semi-colon
to the end of statements in '-p1' mode. On the master branch, this is commit
d89c429. I also added commit 62ac4ea, which fixes a few places missed by commit
9fef07f when adding the unmangled name global variable output support.

The new parse-semok.exp test now passes completely on f23
(4.3.3-300.fc23.x86_64).
