Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: texlive-base
Processing a letter document fails with "There's no line here to end."
on line with \opening. In a less minimized example, the error is,
"Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line 47" (line 47 is
the line with \end{letter}). In both cases, commenting out the \opening
line allows the document to be processed normally. At least one document
worked fine with texlive on feisty. I'm on gutsy (texlive v. 2007-10).
