This has happened to some german dhdn projections recently as well ...
It struck me in a seminar of course. Searching for errors in the course
of a seminar shows the participants how and where to look for them, but
in this case it was just hilarious, mostly because the error message is
the same as if the epsg file were not there at all. The idea that the
epsg code in question might just not be in file struck me on the way
home :)

(the very same day i found out that i am not allowed to captitalize
'epsg' in "init=epsg:bla")
