Verry interesting! I don't know much about the UNIX versions and even
less about C--several other kind list-members have been translating my
FORTRAN into C and making unix versions available. But I did discover
at some point that I could not use the backslash character in a
literal string expression in UNIX (C or FORTRAN), even though it
worked fine in my DOS/FORTRAN versions. So to keep to a single
FORTRAN source, I defined a character variable sq=char(92) and used
that in all such cases.
Except when I forgot to. And that's what happend here. I put in
something like write(11,'(a)')"addspace{-\afterruleskip}" and the
backslash did not get translated into the C version.
I'll fix the problem in the next public release version, but that
probably won't come out for a few months. Meanwhile if you know any C
maybe you can fix the C-source and rebuild. Just search for
"-afterruleskip" in the C-source and replace it with whatever C-code
leads to "-\afterruleskip"

I use the C (Unix) version of pmx-1.3.7 and the bug (I thing) is situated at
lines 2311-2316 (pmxb.c) :
/* Writing concatenation */
i__3[0] = 1, a__2[0] = all_1.sq;
i__3[1] = 14, a__2[1] = "xchangecontext";
i__3[2] = 1, a__2[2] = all_1.sq;
i__3[3] = 24, a__2[3] = "addspace{-afterrule\
skip}"; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and similary 2330-2333
/* Writing concatenation */
i__4[0] = 1, a__3[0] = all_1.sq;
i__4[1] = 24, a__3[1] = "addspace{-afterrule\
skip}";
