Actually, in this case the second line has more info.
Line #1 (error #219: error in function handler) is a more generic error 
message that I find singularly unuseful.
Line #2 (error #118: Operators &: error in left operand) gives a more 
specific reason.

At any rate, the problem seems to be on line 236 in the function 
getDesktopFolderPath, and is probably around char 8, although that isn't 
always accurate.

The stack frames leading up to the error were triggered by the build 
process invoking preOpencard:

preOpenCard
--> initFirstLoginScreen
----> checkForLastLogInFile
------> getDesktopFolderPath
