It appears that you were running 1-17-8, the version release on Nov 16, 2000. It also appears that we need to make the error message "more friendly" by including the version number, as well as the build date, module, and line number. If you have other suggestions on how to make it more friendly, please let us know.
The problem you hit was a bug where GEMS (in 1.17.8) would incorrectly decode the ballot generation printer settings. It looks from cvsactivity that Tab fixed that lately, but hey why report it to bugtrack.

Now, that's not accurate, the ballots are generated for all precincts (we have been over this before), but some people seem to like that behavior.
