Sorry, I had misread "including a copy of a version of linum that
causes the failure" as requesting just the version number.  I attach
linum.el version 0.9t to this message; but again, note that the latest
version, 0.9u+ does not show the bug with Emacs 22.1 (though both
versions 0.9t and 0.9u+ show it with CVS Emacs from the trunk).  For
comparison, I also attach a diff between versions 0.9t and 0.9u+.  And
for completeness, here's the recipe again:

1. Save the following lines to  ~/linum-test.el:

(load-file "<path/to/linum.el>") ;; linum.el version 0.9t
(setq linum-format
      (lambda (line)
	(propertize (format "%d" line) 'face 'linum)))
(setq confirm-kill-emacs 'y-or-n-p)

2. emacs -q -l ~/linum-test.el ;; Emacs 22.1

3. M-x display-splash-screen

4. M-x linum-mode

5. C-x C-c
