It could be a bug which hasn't surfaced before because something is 
being used in an unusual way; the "encoding txtfdmns" trick only 
occurred to me as I was answering your mail.

One thing you could try is to add the command \nullfont near the top of 
the driver file (after \begin{document} if you're working under LaTeX). 
This will cause the log file to contain warnings about missing 
characters rather than a .dvi file to be generated, and should at least 
narrow down what file is being input when these lines are being produced.
