What you typed there was a two-line query equivalent to
SELECT version() SELECT version();
which of course is a syntax error. Notice how the prompt changed ---
that's psql's means of telling you that it's accepting a continuation
line for an incomplete query. The query ends at a semicolumn, not
a newline.
