Hi Jonathan,

When makefullnamestring()

strnumber
makefullnamestring()
{
  return maketexstring(fullnameoffile);
}

is called, assertion fails in maketexstring if
fullnameoffile == NULL, whereas maketexstring in
pdftex allows NULL.

An easy way out is to set fullnameoffile,
though it is not the full-path but the command
name in this case ( to see the command name is not bad ).

Best,
Akira
