 Fixed in r68096. Thank you for letting me know.

 > BTW, do you plan to migrate to ptexlive?

 Well, I have an alpha version of port:pTeXLive.
 But I have no plan to release it widely for now
 for the following reasons.

 1. There are some compatibility issues. For example,
  - TexShop won't work with pTeXLive without modifying its shell scripts,
    because some format files have been removed from pTeXLive.
  - Some convenient aliases like platex-euc/utf8/sjis have been eliminated.
  - Some commands have been renamed.
 2. Compared with teTeX, TeXLive is a bit large to compile, I think.
 3. babel is not supported yet. (I heard that Kitamura-san's e-pTeX
 supports it well.)
 4. I believe that it's too early to release it, because the latest
 Okumura-sensei's
    well known pLaTeX book (4th edition you know) is written based on
 ptetex3.
    The next 5th edition will be based on pTeXLive/e-pTeX, but it is not
 published yet.
 5. I haven't been using pTeXLive so well. I don't know how stable it is.
 6. After releasing it I would have to do user support. I'm afraid I have
 no time to do it for now. :P

 Any comments/suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
