I cannot reproduce this, perhaps because when I saved the vline.el you
attached, I selected a wrong encoding.  Please visit the file with
"M-x find-file-literally" and tell me what 8-bit bytes you see on the
line that begins with "((memq char '(?\t".  Then visit that file
normally with Emacs 22 and tell what non-ASCII character(s) you see on
that line (use "C-u C-x =" to describe those characters).
