this isn't quite what i consider a proper bug report, even if one can fight
ones way through your link (code there isn't even cut and paste-able due to
the 8bit problems ...

never mind

problem with t1.tex:

bugarian.ldf contains:

\begingroup \catcode`\"12
\def\reserved@a{\endgroup
  \def÷ÂSS{\mathchar"7019}
%     ^^  some 8bit rubbish that should have been \@    
  \def\dq{"}}
\reserved@a

God knows why and when that got introduced.


problem with t2.tex:

there is simply a closing brace missing so that the definition of \@alph@eng
carries on until TeX finally sees a #2 (from some other macro) and complains

means that nobody ever used that file together with X2 (since only then that
part is ever executed).

and the contributing author can't have tested that either :-)


so here is a temp fix for testing (but notfor distribution yet)

time to turn into a pumpkin
