Recent versions of XEmacs apparently miscompile emacs-w3m.

For details please see:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=352331

Reproducible like this:

    xemacs -q
    M-x w3m RET
    => Invalid read syntax: Undefined symbol label, 1

The problem disappears after deleting the .elc files of emacs-w3m:

    rm /usr/share/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/w3m/*.elc

The problem is there in a CVS checkout of XEmacs 21.5.28 from of
20071220.

Dieter Klünter reports that it does *not* happen with

   XEmacs 21.5  (beta28) "fuki" (+CVS-20071205)

i.e. apparently a change between 20071205 and 20071220 broke it.
