I have found that it is usually "Error 1".  That's what I put in the
Find thingy to look for IF it is not real close by.  I generally go up a
few lines and then start my copy and paste. 

I can't count how many times I have searched for a problem and run into
paste bin links that no longer work.  It is really aggravating when you
think you found something and it turns out it has disappeared.
