[ale] [Error: symbol foo is already defined] continued....

[John Wells]

Ok, this is odd.  I had opened the file and searched on a few patterns,
but hadn't paid attention to line numbers because when I hit n (vi) the
code looked identical, so I thought there was only one match.  Last time I
take line numbers for granted.

Turns out somehow there were four identical copies of the code in the same
file.  My patch must have screwed up somehow....

Thanks for the help.  That fixed things!
