But why stop ? Why not just put something in the eratta and continue on.
Oh, I see what you mean. Actually, now that I review the arguments for stopping on a block-starting =cut -- stopping was the least awful alternative among the possibilities I could see at the time when I first ran into the problem. But that was before I came up with the idea of the errata section, which is clearly the best way to do it. I'll make a block-starting =cut be just a no-op except for inserting a note in the errata.

Thanks for catching this! I think I forgot to put in any tests for this (yet)!
