In errata there is this errata for page 171 of MetaFontBook:



bugonpage C171, line 16 from the bottom (06/18/02)

tenpoint
<loop>is<loop header>|:|<loop text> {tt endfor}


I have an edition of MetafontBook from 1986 (softcover) and from 2012 (hardcover). In both of them text on page 171 is the same as in output produced from errata.tex. Can anybody explain why this text is in errata if it seems not to correct anything?
