Because the error message doesn't tell what file and what line the

would have had to resort to cut-and-try binary search to find the
change that caused the error message.

The font thing, or the error-message thing?
My apologies. I will upgrade. (Is there a Debian package for 0.98.3
yet? I'll go look.)
