Running lamachine-update.sh sometimes fails with weird syntax error, but upon rerunning everything is fine

I often find that the virtualenv lamachine-update.sh fails with a strange syntax error. I wonder if it might be caused by the running script being updated whilst it runs? Isn't it entirely in memory yet?

Simply rerunning lamachine-update.sh after this error always fixes it.

Should be solved now
