    Ooooh Ouch!  Tricky syntax analyzer test!  To make it harder use 

    A: Natural range 0..2:=0;

    The reason Meridan trips up (and yes it is a compiler bug) is
probably that 2:1101: is a legal numeric literal (with a decimal value
of 13).  I suspect that the compiler starts reading with the syntax of
an integer literal and when that fails backs up incorrectly, reading
the value 1 correctly but losing the colon.
