And your point is?  Your code was incorrect, and now your error is
detected.  Why are you calling close.screen:

     'close.screen' removes the specified screen definition(s).

when you have not specified any?

Such code produced invalid output on e.g. postscript() and pdf() devices
in the past, and the error is now trapped.
