A minimal example reads:

hille@kloetzer:~ $ more a.tex
iiii

Running it through pdftex with the -interaction option gives me:

hille@kloetzer:~ $ pdftex -interaction batchmode a.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
entering extended mode

and a usable pdf file.

Could you post the files for that "quick test"? I can't reproduce the
problem here.
