Background information: I'm using TeXlive 2010 (on ArchLinux x86_64, though installed through TUG/CTAN, not from the Arch repos). I update my system with tlmgr daily. All was well until today, perhaps having something to do with the most recent updates, and v6.81u of the hyperref package in particular (and the file hpdftex.def). Now, even this simple document:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
Hello world.
\end{document}
throws the following error:
(/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/hyperref/hpdftex.def
File: hpdftex.def 2010/11/22 v6.81u Hyperref driver for pdfTeX

{%
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a package version incompatibility? Here's what I get if I add \listfiles to the beginning of the code.

Sorry for raising the alarm, but I just upgraded again, and the problem seems to be fixed with version v6.81v. Still, word to the wise: watch out for v6.81u.
To be specific:
hyperref.sty 2010/11/26 v6.81v Hypertext links for LaTeXand
hpdftex.def 2010/11/26 v6.81v Hyperref driver for pdfTeXwork fine, but v6.81u dated 2010/11/22 does not (for me anyway).
