Re: byte-compile warning position on certain .el

[Richard Stallman]

I simplifiedd Kevin's test case, to produce this single file.  Do
emacs -Q, then M-x byte-compile on this file, and several of the
warnings are listed as many lines away from their actual locations.

I wish I had time to debug this, but I don't.  Would someone else
please debug it, and fix it if possible?
