[tex-live] New Bug: Rotating Package Broken After Update

Dear TexLive folks,

with my last TexLive update, obviously a new glitch in the rotating 
package has been introduced. All of the sudden a rather big document 
that used to compile almost perfectly before stopped with quite some 
weird error messages. These error messages are almost identical with 
those produced by this minimal example:

    \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
    \usepackage{rotating}
    \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

    \begin{document}
    \begin{rotate}{20}
    Test
    \end{rotate}
    \end{document}

The corresponding log reads as follows:

    *****

    ***** PDFLaTeX Ausgabe:

    ***** cd "/home/thorsten/Dokumente"

    ***** /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex
    -interaction=nonstopmode test

    *****

    This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)

    restricted \write18 enabled.

Does this make sense to anyone? Maybe someone has a solution for this? 
Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks and greets to all you great folks!
