This is correct. However, I assumed that the file was also specified in
woody's language.dat, which is not the case. Therefore it is clear that
you or somebody (or something) must have touched language.dat (unless it
is a leftover from even older versions of teTeX, of which I have no
record of their language.dat).
Well, we already have some code fixing language.dat, and it shouldn't be
very difficult to add this to it. However, in my opinion this is not an
important bug, because it only occurs only in a very special setup (and
even in woody, using fr19998t.tex didn't make sense, since it just
loaded frhyph.tex). Therefore I'm lowering the severity.
