gEDA: What is "1: illegal fileformat" in the PCB Example?

[Bob Paddock <bpaddock-at-NOSPAMcsonline_dot_net>]

I went to demo PCB to the boss on my laptop and as all boss demos go PCB came 
up with some error I never saw.  Just tried it on my main machine at home, 
same error.

I installed the PCB CVS code as of Dec/18 like so:
./configure --prefix=/opt/pcb
Source code is in /opt/pcb-04Dec18.

Fire up PCB.
In File menu, Load Layout, navigate to /opt/pcb-04Dec18/example/ and load LED.

In the log window up pops:

1: illegal fileformat
/opt/pcb-04Dec18/example/LED:665: m4: ERROR Coping inserted file: Broken pipe.

What is going on here?

If I cd to /opt/pcb-04Dec18/example/ and do 'pcb LED' all is good, no errors, 
board comes up.
