"Bad definition" error while loading linetypes from a .LIN file.

AutoCAD reports error: Bad definition of XXX at line NNN of file YYY.LIN

This problem may be caused by wrong syntax in the user linetype definition file (LIN) or by an inaccessible or faulty shape file (SHX) referenced by a complex linetype definition.
