QTP 8.19.C1 Parser Hangs on SUBFILE NODICTIONARY

Dear Lister's,
I reported the following bug to Cognos support today.
I thought you might also be interested.

The QTP Parser hangs when processing a 
SUBFILE xxx KEEP NODICTIONARY
command if the permanent subfile already exists.

Example:
:comment Initially build the subfile
:PURGE XXX
:QTP
>ACCESS EMPLOYEES
>SUBFILE XXX KEEP NODICTIONARY INCLUDE EMPLOYEES
>GO
>EXIT
:comment Now that the subfile exists, we can exhibit the problem.
:QTP
>ACCESS EMPLOYEES
>SUBFILE XXX KEEP NODICTIONARY INCLUDE EMPLOYEES
:comment the system never returns a '>' to continue input.
:comment in batch, the job will just sit there.

This problem prevents compiling QTP runs that create or append to
permanent nodictionary subfiles.
I've produced this problem using Image Detail Datasets and Native Mode KSAM
files as the input file.
It occurs whether or not the input record length is an even or odd number.

I have NOT seen this problem in 7.09 or 7.29.C8, it appears to be new in 8.19
