Really Really odd error

[prgm030]

I am sure this must be really simple, but it escapes me. Here is the code:

a:
        @echo $(patsubst 5.9.0_%,%,TEXT_5.9.0_defs)
        echo $(patsubst %.c,%.o,x.c.c bar.c)

 and the output:

TEXT_5.9.0_defs
echo x.c.o bar.o
x.c.o bar.o


As you can see, the second substitution from the GNU Make manual works, the
first fails miserably.

What gives?
