[tex-eplain] Asterisk Appears Using Epstopdf

[David A. Edwards]

I just upgraded to TEXlive 2009 on a Mac.  Now when I call the  
epstopdf package using

\beginpackages
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\endpackages

I get an asterisk at the top of the first page.  Any ideas on how to  
eliminate it?
