Subject: 24.0.50; Number type error in byte compiler
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 00:43:03 -0500

I originally reported this as a Gnus bug, but turns out it's a bug in
the byte compiler.  To reproduce, create a file with the following
contents:

  (defvar foo 1.0)

  (defun foo ()
    (interactive)
    (if (and (equal foo 1.0)
             (equal foo 1))
        (error "Object is `equal' to both a float and an integer")))

Then, in the shell:

~ $ emacs -Q -batch -f batch-byte-compile foo.el
~ $ emacs -Q -batch -l foo.elc -f foo
Object is `equal' to both a float and an integer

The error does not show up in Emacs 23.x, so it must have been
introduced relatively recently on the trunk.
