Oh... get it.  Before that I've tried { 10 } instead of a plain 10, and that
failed.  Of course the ld file is not supposed to hold some arbitrary lout
object in it.  Perhaps in the default file we can write "1" instead of a
plain 1 in order to avoid some silly guys like me to step into it.  Thanks!

I feel it this way too.  On the other hand, I think that just an answer like
"I see this too" might help a lot already: at least I know that the mail is
being taken care of.

I really want to help out, but my current load does not allow that.  Last
time I agreed to help with the GNU latex manual, but I failed to fulfill my
promise.  So I'll delay promising on anything until I really get some time
to spend.
