Thank you for spotting this.  Inserting the comma eliminates the "peculiar
error" message and Emacs starts fine.

Now I have a question for Andreas Schwab: should I report this broken
file (dated Feb 26 2003!) on the openSUSE bugzilla or can you just fix
it or forward this to whoever is responsible for fixing it; and can this
file be fixed in openSUSE 10.3 or only in Factory?
