Dear TeXers,

running that document

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{german}
\usepackage[DVIoutput,expansion=false]{microtype}

\begin{document}
a
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

either under 2003 or 2004, gives me a

"Package microtype Warning: Character number @tempc larger than 255!
Ignoring i
t on input line 5."

    But if microtype.sty is loaded *before* german.sty, the file is
processed flawlessly.  Am I doing sth, wrong?

Michael
