Problems with label.tex...

I recently downloaded label.tex from ymir, only to find that, instead of 3x11,
I was getting 3x7 output. Particulars:

TeX 3.0, dvips 5.47, LaserWriter
Test file:

\input label
\faddress address.tex
\end

address.tex contained 33 3-line addresses separated by blank lines, then a
blank line followed by \done.

Results of "tex":

This is TeX, C Version 3.0
(labels.tex (/usr/local/public_domain/lib/tex/inputs/label.tex
\address \faddress \done
<0> Total Labels
) [1]
! Missing } inserted.
<inserted text>
                }
...
l.2 \faddress address.tex

?

After X-iting, the dvi file produced was evenly spaced 3x7 addresses, instead
of 3x11. I am a novice, so it's very possible I screwed up, but I don't know
where to start looking. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
