Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:57:00 +0200

'compile-goto-error' results in the

Sources obtained from CVS today, Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:50 (GMT), but
first time reproduced with yesterday's checkout.  Previous checkout
was far ago in paste (and definitelly in the 2008 year), therefore, I
unable to say exact time of the problematic commit :-(
