Subject: re. a minor but annoying bug

Well, the reason for the bug is that rc does not annotate the
parse-tree with line numbers the way a C compiler might. The error
printer makes a stab at what the line number is, by printing the number
of newlines read so far. (This trick works ok for syntax errors.)

Therefore, an error raised anywhere inside a while loop will print the
line number of the close-brace of the while loop.

I realize this is ugly, but a fix for this problem is more effort than
I can or want to put into rc right now.
