Hi Joel, I get this error frequently when I forget to stop an environment, for example a \startsection with no \stopsection or a \startplacefigure with no \stopplacefigure. This freqeuntly doesn’t cause an error because the engine is happily packing my entire book into a margin figure.
See if there something you should have stopped near the place where things go bad? Good luck!
