I attached the wrong diff (but the right screenshot).  I am attaching
the "right" diff, more for archival purposes.

Here is the diff that needs to be used.  Earlier diff was "totally
broken" in that it missed:

    1. `string-to-number' on line numbers.
    2. Goto beginning of buffer, before `forward-line'.

The changes still need a `save-excursion', though.  For experimental
code, it shouldn't matter much.
