Hello,

I found a strange error message
! File ended while scanning text of ???.
with the following source, with the latest pdfTeX:

% === begin
\pdfstrcmp{}{ %
\endinput
% === end

Hironori Kitagawa fixed a similar bug in e-pTeX (r46068).
The similar fix can also be applied to pdfTeX, see the patch in
https://gist.github.com/aminophen/906fe5795d3b00e3ea2bd76d9cb2dde0

FWIW, XeTeX also has a problem, posted at
https://sourceforge.net/p/xetex/bugs/144/.

Regards,
Hironobu Yamashita
