[antlr-interest] Error message requires key press to continue

[Loring Craymer]

Vocabulary import uses StreamTokenizer in Grammar.importTokenVocabulary(String 
vocabName).  There is a minor bug in that error recovery consumes tokens until 
TT_EOL is found; that should be either TT_EOL or TT_EOF.  You might try fixing 
that and reporting if the fix works.
