You were right!  The line causing the problem was

(setq calc-language 'math)

Which put calc in Mathematica mode and changed how it interpreted 
math expressions with functions, such as "ln" or "sin".

I don't know how this line appeared in my .emacs.d/calc.el.

calc's definition of the dB unit includes "ln(10)", and calc 
builds the units table before evaluating certain algebraic 
expressions.  This resulted in the original error message I 
submitted.

My apologies.
