byte-compile making erroneous *Compile Log*

[David Vanderschel]

The typical message looks like the following:

    eemacs.el:233:25:Warning: assignment to free variable `w32-lwindow-modifier'

The first part is a link into the file and that works fine.  However, if the
'error' is found in a defun, I get something like the following:

   In dv-java-keys:  eemacs.el:223:9:Warning: assignment to free variable
    `c-basic-offset'

and then the link does not work, because the follower logic believes that the
"In <defun-name>" is part of the file name.

Now this does not happen when I start Emacs with "emacs -Q".  So I am trying
without luck to figure out what in my initialization is causing the extra defun
identifier to appear.  I thought maybe the "verbose" option for the bytecomp
group might be relevant, but no joy there.  Checking other things that I thought
might be relevant, I am failing to find it.  My initialization is a bit too
large to try to narrow it down by partial execution; so I am hoping that someone
has enough insight into this behaviour to point me to something that could be
causing it.
