The error also happened in the file you sent me earlier, and I fixed it
already! With the fix it should print an error that this is not supported.

It was in this commit, to the source repository version
https://github.com/NLnetLabs/ldns/commit/46042cb39725886e808df08aa7d4ca1d3fc0697b

For $GENERATE such a descriptive error is not printed, a syntax error is
printed for this directive.

Best regards, Wouter
