	Interesting.  It's surprisingly rare to find real bugs in LaTeX
   (although it does happen) but it seems that you have found one.  I
   wonder if this problem is universal across different revisions of LaTeX.
   If you have a short piece of sample code which demonstrates this problem,
   I would appreciate it if you mailed it to me.

I have a small sample file:

\documentstyle{article}

\begin{document}
\parbox[t]{5cm}{text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text }
\parbox[t]{5cm}{\label{x}text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text }

\end{document}


The problem is that the \label contributes a \write node while in
vertical mode. An easy solution is to put a \leavevmode in front of
it. But before I change \parbox I have to make sure that this doesn't
break something else (not likely, but once burned...).
