I ran into this bug this afternoon when running pdftex. (It's no bug when
you use pdfetex, since the etex alternative is safer.)

Add this to cont-new.tex: 

\unprotect 

\def\doifmeaningelse#1#2#3#4%
  {\edef\!!stringa{\meaning#1}%
   \def\!!stringb{#2}\edef\!!stringb{\meaning\!!stringb}%
   \ifx\!!stringa\!!stringb#3\else#4\fi}

\def\dobetweenthelines%
  {\doifmeaningelse{\next}{\obeyedline}{\@@rgtussen}{}}

\protect

(Taco may like the new \doifmeaningelse)

Hans
