No, I'm not using Lennart's patched binary; I'm using his vanilla binary. But it's possible I saved or modified the file somehow - I don't recall. But that should be irrelevant for the bug report - it doesn't matter if the file I sent is the original vline.el or something else. What matters is that I opened it using emacs -Q with a vanilla Emacs binary - no customizations, nothing else loaded, nada.
