Update the regexp in the last_return_line block preceding the error.

I think this happens when the solver is compressing a solution, and the return statement looks like

return someMangleFunction([...
 ][testNumber++])

whereas the code expects

return [...
 ][testNumber++]

Then it won't parse correctly, so a buffer = [... statement is sought but not found, so last_buffer_line, which would point to the last such statement remains undefiend.

If that's the case, this is a problem with singleLinkedListify() and binaryTreeify() and friends, and big solutions, and will be dealt with when rewriting the compression code.
