Report not compiling, probably dumb goof

This is a "it used to work!" problem. This report compiled to a .ps just fine back in December. I got busy with other things, then today tried running Lout on this again. Now it gives errors

bash> lout tmp.lt > tmp.ps
lout file "tmp.lt":
    13,1: symbol @BeginSections unknown or misspelt
    15,1: unresolved cross reference @SectionList&&10.694.tmp.1
    15,1: unresolved cross reference @SectionList&&10.694.tmp.1
    15,1: unresolved cross reference @SectionList&&10.694.tmp.1
    15,1: unresolved cross reference @SectionList&&10.694.tmp.1
    21,1: symbol @EndSections unknown or misspelt
    13,1: fatal error: no current font at word @BeginSections

Of course, I didn't change anything, update Lout, or even breathe upon this project. I'm using Lout 3.39 on a Linux 64-bit machine.

What follows is a greatly cut-down version of the report giving the same errors as the original. The line numbers in the above errors refer to this cut-down version. I have probably accidentally deleted a line or inserted a stray character. What doofus mistake did I make?

BTW, I checked the slides in "Practical Introduction" and found only that @Abstract is shown after the // but I have it before. If I put it after, Lout isn't happy. I assume it should go before, and the slide is for an older less picky version of Lout. Is that true? But this seems to have nothing to do with my main question.
