Mistakes/editing errors in "Solar Labyrinth"??

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'm on my second reading of BotNS, and I just got "Solar Labyrinth" in the
mail.  And I was surprised that only 12 pages into the book, I might have
found 2 errors.  I'm probably way off on this, but here goes:

1.  A reference to the crash in the Cathedral as having occurred in Claw, when
it was obviously the early half of Shadow.

2.  The author says in the chapter "Catherine" that anyone lame or limping, he
associates with Severian the Lame.  I looked back at the chapter, and saw no
such statement.

Am I missing something huge here?  Is there an errata page for this book?
