*should*, really! Do you have an idea, what I should check?

Is there anything to look after? What must I do, that it will work?

I'll check it again, but I had the same problem at other places, there
I wrote exactly the same line below and commented out the "wrong" one,
and it worked. I checked the file with an hex editor, if there were any
control codes, but didn't find any.

I defined a lot of new commands, but as far I see I didn't touch existing.
And I used no other commands in this special chapter than in others.

Yes, there are some only lower case commands. Is that not allowed?
(I'm sure that they didn't exist before.)

Thought of sort of this, but found no missing stop.
And I think the error should come also with other chapters --
it's only with this combination!

I did not mean that "something fundamental" was your fault.
