I'm afraid that was the problem - 3.77 on the machine in question.  I
did not suspect that $(error) was a recent addition, and I was reviewing
the info file on a different machine (which I should avoid).

Thanks very much for your help - it looks like I should have been able
to track this one down myself after all.
