Bug in lex_next_chunk?

This is a bug report for perl from ikegami@adaelis.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.14.0.

[Please describe your issue here]

Hi,

First I noticed the following odd message:

    $ perl -E'say qw'
    Can't find string terminator ";" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

and then the even weirder

    $ perl -E'say qw;'
    syntax error at -e line 2, at EOF
      (Might be a runaway multi-line ;; string starting on line 1)
    Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

Then I saw lex_peek_unichar return 59 (';') at EOF instead of the documented
-1.

lex_peek_unichar calls lex_next_chunk which does sv_catpvs(linestr, ";"),
but I don't know why.
