\context ChordNames prints out spurious error message

[Andras Cser]

Folks,

excuse me if this is something of a newbie question.
I like lilypond a lot, this is a nice piece of software.
I have a problem however.
I am using lilypond 1.3.94 and followed the install
instructions on the website. I get the same error message
under Solaris 7 and RedHat linux 6.0 when I try 
ly2dvi river.ly
(river.ly is the example from the documentation.
http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/lilypond/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond.html#Lyrics%20and%20chords
)
I understand that it sometimes needs to be fixed, but I am
trying to typeset guitar music as well where chordnames are
quasi-standard.

Here's the error message I get:

And here's the river.ly file:

         }
         \midi  { \tempo 4=72;}
         \paper { linewidth = 10.0\cm; }
}

Note: the problem does not happen with Win32
MikTeX + lilypond 1.3.46 (stable download) distribution.

Your help and/or any pointers are greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
Andras
