Stupid me.  Must remember that this file exists.  Why do I always
forget?  Sheesh.

Anyway, it doesn't help.  Here's what I see:

The error happens in a totally different spot.  Hm.  Lessee.  I should
be able to get a backtrace...

Any ideas?  The CVS version seems to build fine, and it almost works.
(The error I get I'm sure you know -- it prints a message about
after-change-function being called in a strange buffer.)
