Sorry about that.  There was an error in a cache, the cache that tracks
whether or not braces are at the top level.  In particular, this error
was triggered by the first "struct" keyword in

static struct frame *
make_terminal_frame (struct terminal *terminal)
{

where it was failing to recognise the "*" as "cancelling" the
expectation of braces as part of the struct construct.

The patch below should fix the problem.  If you want to try it out,
please do.  Otherwise I'll commit it to the release branch if I don't
hear from you within a few days.
