That's right, but it has nothing to do with line-ends. In Lua 4.0, you cannot
mix named and anonymous members in tables: you must separate them with a ";":

	{ x=1, y=2, z="lua" ; 10, 20, 30 }

In the example in this thread, Component{...} introduces a anonymous member.
So try adding a ";" before it.

In Lua 5.0, you can freely mix members.
