I'm getting the above error. Mats suggested there was an error earlier
in the file than where I thought the problem was.  I have trimmed the
file down to the smallest that produces this error.  In the attached
file lines 255 and 332 are currently commented out.  I get the error
with the file as it is.  If I remove one or the other file the error
disappears.  I find it very puzzling that removing a comment line would
have any effect at all.

I have not been able to find what I've done wrong.
