Right. The latest release of PGF fixes the problem by issuing an appropriate error message instead of an obscure one: $ tex This is TeX, Version 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2019/Cygwin) (preloaded format=tex) **\input tikz (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain/pgf/frontendlayer/tikz.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain/pgf/basiclayer/pgf.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain/pgf/utilities/pgfrcs.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/utilities/pgfutil-common.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/utilities/pgfutil-common-lists.tex)) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/utilities/pgfutil-plain.def (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/atbegshi.sty (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/infwarerr.sty) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/ltxcmds.sty) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/ifpdf.sty))) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/utilities/pgfrcs.code.tex !
