Hello,
It seems that I have found the conflict between xypic and babel packages.
The following file
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\usepackage[estonian]{babel}
\begin{document}
\xy
\xygraph{
!{<0cm,0cm>;<2cm,0cm>:<0cm,0cm>}
*++[F.] {\txt{Avada seif\\X EEK}}="A1"
}
\endxy
\end{document}
produces the following error message:

When I uncomment the \usepackage[estonian]{babel} line, the file works
fine and produces correct PDF output.
Could you give me some pointers, what other things to check for and where
else to report this problem, is this is indeed a bug, not my misusage. So
far I haven't found anything about this error message or conflicts from
Google.
