First bug spotted!  Sometimes after the file name there are the pages
of the output file:

    (./path/to/file [8] [9] [10]

The complex regexp of the old parsing function was able to ignore the
page numbers, instead the new implementation captures the numbers as
well.  In order to keep the regexp as simple as possible,
TeX-parse-error now removes from the string leading and trailing
whitespace and these numbers.  Feel free to suggest better solutions
for this problem.

However, now there is also an ERT test for error parsing, every bug
fixed in this field should (read: must) come with a proper test, in
order to make sure we don't break anything.

Bye,
Mosè

I hope we'll have fewer
