this is a followup to my previous message.  on an ultrix 1.1 release
3.0.4.1 machine at pika, I got the following error

    [Subfile obs.mss 7 (2) (2.1) (2.2) 8
Error in text found while processing the manuscript.
obs.mss, line 103:  @ [Mag Tape Formats \37777777715\016]
Current font (TimesRoman) does not contain a "\016" character.
     9 (2.3) 10 (2.4)]

the mag tape formats thing is a manual I refer to in my bibliography.
its entry looks like this:

@Manual[	magtape
	,Organization="Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii"
	,Title="XI. Mag Tape Formats"
	,year=2001
	,Note="This document explains Galileo/IFA CCD tape formats and
CCD tape header formats.  It is a section of a larger document from
the IFA and is unpublished.  @cb[@b(Find out the date.)]"
	]

and it is referenced like:

Each frame contains a 512-byte header and one 812x812 pixel array of
unsigned, 16-bit data.  The document "XI. Mag Tape Formats"
@cite(magtape), available at the University of Hawaii
@cb[@b(confirm)], gives the details of the information in the frame
header and

In my previous error, I had magtape be an unpublished, not a manual,
and left out the required author field.  Still, the error persists,
though it doesn't crash scribe in the older version machine.  Oh yeah,
the header that scribe prints is:
