This is the most common error message, indicating a
NullPointerException.
add the -d command line switch to get a full stack trace.

Often, this message is caused by a problem in the FO file,
like wrongly placed FOs or dangling references. The stack
trace should indicate the real problem.

You can try to make the FO DTD at

J.,

Thank you for your quick reply.  Per your suggestion I validated the
document and found errors (master-name and master-reference reversed
several times), which was surprising since I literally cut-and-pasted it
from the article.

After making the corrections the translation ran perfectly.

Best regards,

Sam
