Subject: twm reports errors on incorrect line numbers

Package: xbaseR6
Version: 0.93-7

When reporting errors in my ~/.twmrc, twm(1) reports a line number
twice what it should be; e.g. in the following, the errors turned out
to be at lines 69 and 106:

        $ cat .xsession-errors 
        twm:  line 138:  error in input file:  parse error
        twm:  line 138:  ignoring unknown keyword:  x
        twm:  line 212:  ignoring unknown keyword:  windowtitle
        twm:  errors found in twm file "/home/rjk/.twmrc"

(This bug is reported to me by Richard Kettlewell,
rjk1002@hermes.cam.ac.uk.  He doesn't have email connectivity at the
moment as it's out of term now and he's at home.)
