Usually those strange error messages *really* mean that a po file is
broken and messes up everything...

Some fuzzy message strings make trouble.

msgformat worked for me when I called it without the "--use-fuzzy"
option:

	msgfmt --check --statistics -o /dev/null po/ko/using.po

so you could try e.g.

	make ... MSGFMTFLAGS="--check --statistics"

Maybe we should simply remove this option?

However, with "--use-fuzzy" msgfmt reports line 1335, ...

	#: src/using/script-fu-tutorial.xml:446(programlisting)
	#, fuzzy, no-wrap
	msgid ""
	"\n"
	"(let*\n"
	"   (\n"
	"        (x\n"
	"           '(\"GIMP\" (1 2 3) (\"is\" (\"great\" () ) ) )\n"
	"        )\n"
	"    )\n"
	"    x\n"
	")\n"
	"      "
	msgstr "김프 사용자 설명서가 없습니다."

... line 1415, ...

	#: src/using/script-fu-tutorial.xml:512(programlisting)
	#, fuzzy, no-wrap
	msgid ""
	"\n"
	"        (let*  (\n"
	"                  (a 1)\n"
	"                  (b 2)\n"
	"                  (c 3)\n"
	"               )\n"
	"\n"
	"               (list 5 4 3 a b c)\n"
	"        )\n"
	"      "
	msgstr "언어 목록"

... and line 2040:

	#: src/using/script-fu-tutorial.xml:1203(programlisting)
	#, fuzzy, no-wrap
	msgid ""
	"\n"
	"        (gimp-display-new theImage)\n"
	"      "
	msgstr "새 인스턴스로 김프를 시작합니다."

Hmm, meanwhile I'm quite sure that we should remove thet option...
