[ruby-core:86271]

Description

The following program with a misplaced colon causes a segmentation fault when you try to run it in Ruby 2.5.0p0 on both the Manjaro Linux and the MSYS2 platforms:

def a(x)
  case x
  when A
    :
  when B, C
  end
end

It also causes some spurious "dynamic constant assignment" error messages on the line after the misplaced colon. I wonder what's going on here! Seems like a parsing problem.

Here is a shell session from Linux demonstrating the issue:

$ ruby -v ast.rb 
ruby 2.5.0p0 (2017-12-25 revision 61468) [x86_64-linux]
