[tex-k] Bug in TeX (or LaTeX)

[Sam Lauber]

I am using LaTeX.  When I type `latex', it displays the 
normal `This is TeX' banner.  If I type \end at the prompt, 
it just displays `LaTeX2e <1998/06/01>'.  If I type \end 
agian, it exits, but in a rude way:

(latex)
This is TeX, version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.5.3) 
**\end
LaTeX2e <1998/06/01>
*\end
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=600].
\end#1->
        \csname end#1\endcsname \@checkend #1\expandafter \endgroup \if at e...
<*> \end

No pages of output.

It dosen't happen with plain TeX:

(tex)
This is TeX, version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.5.3)
*\end
No pages of output.

But strangely, with the LaTeX executable running plain, the 
same thing happens, but it displays the message more than 
once.
