The LINE:COL position of the error report is wrong.

The presence of that defun prevents the "end of data" report from being
triggered.

FWIW, see the attached report

1. With the offending defun compiled in, the "end of data" report is
*absent*.

2. With offending defun ";;"-ed out, the "end of data" report is
*present*.

I wonder what would explain the presence/absence of "end of data"
report.
