Hello, I just updated my TeXlive 2009 installation the other day from CTAN and am having a problem with some shortcut macros I was using to make indexing easier. I have a shortest working example attached as test.tex, and the log file as well. I've summarised the things which can and can't be changed in the test file. Essentially, if I have a \newcommand which creates an index entry and specifies the output formatting of that entry, while using Polyglossia, I get an error. The error is:
! Missing control sequence inserted.
<inserted text>
\inaccessible
l.7 \item {\ttfamily \def r
m{tt}lambda}, \hyperpage{1}
Which originates from the .ind file produced by makeindex. The error is
sort of an obvious problem: that \def should not be there! :-) If I remove
Polyglossia, it works. If I remove the text before the index entry, it
works. If I call \index directly rather than going through my \newcommand,
it works. Since the most interesting piece of evidence seemed to be the
Polyglossia aspect, I tried checking out from Git an older version
(specifically, 1.1.0b: commit ae0df19e5759a01cf973) and placing the
polyglossia.sty and gloss-english.ldf into the current directory, and this
makes it work again. This is my current workaround, since I've got a fairly
important document which relies on macros like \broken, but it's not
sustainable. If I can provide further help tracking down the origin of
this, please let me know. I'm using TeXlive 2009 fully updated as of today
on Linux x86_64, both Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04.
Thanks,
