Copying and pasting code into REPL results in cryptic Deltron 3030 error

Hello,

I have encountered a strange piece of behaviour using elm-repl.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Copy the following two lines:

import List
a = []

2) Open elm-repl, and paste the contents of your clipboard.

Expected result:

> import List
> a = []
[] : List a

Actual result:

> import List

> a = []

    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:150:9)

Strangely enough, this behaviour is only apparent when copying and pasting multiple lines of code, not when typing the lines out by hand.

Additionally, it doesn't seem to matter which library we import (List is purely an example here).
