This is the error in  protcode.tex  that I described earlier:

\def\adjustprotcode#1{%
    \needadjustprotcodefalse
    \ifnum\pdftexversion > 13
        \ifnum \expandafter`\pdftexrevision > `g
            \needadjustprotcodetrue
        \fi 
    \else\ifnum\pdftexversion > 14
        \needadjustprotcodetrue
    \fi\fi

is non-sensical, since the test for > 14 is never done.

It should be either:

\def\adjustprotcode#1{%
    \needadjustprotcodefalse
    \ifnum\pdftexversion > 13
        \ifnum \expandafter`\pdftexrevision > `g
            \needadjustprotcodetrue
        \else\ifnum\pdftexversion > 14
            \needadjustprotcodetrue
        \fi 
    \fi\fi

or

\def\adjustprotcode#1{%
    \needadjustprotcodefalse
    \ifnum\pdftexversion > 14
        \needadjustprotcodetrue
    \else\ifnum\pdftexversion > 13
        \ifnum \expandafter`\pdftexrevision > `g
            \needadjustprotcodetrue
        \fi 
    \fi\fi

This latter is easier to understand and is logically more stable,
with respect to possible future development versions of pdfTeX.


Hope this helps,

	Ross Moore.
