Thanks mike, that made it clear that this problem is over my head. I am 
not sure if this is a bug or not. I am sending this on Emacs devel where 
I am sure there a people who understand this better than me.

So the problem is this:

- When mike or Shaowei loads the attached file they get the error below.
- When I do it I get no error.

Can someone please explain what is happening? I think mike has some more 
information about utf-8 environment, see below.

The file uses non-ascii chars without specifying which encoding is used,
so the result depends on the user's environment.

Thanks Stefan.

Mike, could you please try the attached file where I believe I have 
specified the coding correctly?

Would it be good to specify coding systems in all elisp files?
