Thanks Olaf.  Initex is linked to  tex.  But if  I write

$ tex '&latex' dummy.tex

where dummy tex contains just \dump,  the  format is indeed built, but 
in web2c, and it's named latex.fmt; not in '.'  named dummy.fmt as I'd 
expect (see the last but one line in the output)
The error message is still  there. Perhaps &-line parsing should be 
disabled?  I'm just guessing.

This is TeXk, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.2)
%&-line parsing enabled.

Assuming \openin and \input
have the same search path.
