I just fetched the noweb 2.10a sources from CTAN, cvsup'd my stable-supfile, 
make'd world, rebuilt my kernel, portupgrade'd my teTeX and icon (no diff 
from last time), and make'd noweb 2.10a.  The steps to construct noweb are 
on http://www.desinger.com/try/noweb/install-on-freebsd.txt in case you care 
(and even if you don't).

Alas, noweb's still broken on FreeBSD, even with 2.10a.

Andrew Johnson, author of "Elements of Programming with Perl", wondered if 
it's a problem with teTeX.  I get the same error message with pdflatex as 
latex, so it's apparently not pdflatex's fault.

I'm going to try noweb on Linux next.  Andrew reported that he had no 
problems with the LaTeX file on his Linux box.
