I wrote c:/test.el as below and byte-compiled it.

(defun test ()
  (let ((l 1))
    (dotimes (i 100)
      nil)))

When I load it by load function with absolute path as below, I can't
load it and below message is displayed.  But it doesn't raise error.

(load "c:/test")
-> End of file during parsing: c:/test.elc

It doesn't occur with relative path from home directory or Linux
environment.  I confirmed it occurs with Windows environment and
absolute path, and it depends on the content of .el file (i.e. not all
.elc files can't be read).  It also occurs with pre-compiled binary
(*1).

This happens because Emacs thinks this file is remote.  It is almost a
duplicate of bug#5303, except that 5303 talked about files without an
extension, while this one is specific to .elc files.

I fixed this in revision 105479 on the trunk, by handling the DOS_NT
specific situation where `openp' returns -2, but there's no `load'
handler for the file.
