That's exactly what's happening here. The existing bug id is
20010622.008.
Robert Spier pointed it out to me when I fixed another line numbering
problem recently, but this case is slightly different. In the bug I
fixed the correct information was in the optree, and just had to be
found. In this case the line numbers you see are those which are in the
optree.
I was planning on investigating, but haven't found time. If you fix it
(Michael) it might reduce your exposure when the tests are complete ;-)
