I just noticed on the bug report that Andreas Politz isolated the commit
that broke it: commit 6194477a622ce9293162d16a7ba98c9cfc18d124 by Stefan
(I'm guessing Andreas ran git-bisect; I should have tried that).

That's a fairly small change to src/eval.c; reverting that commit does
fix bug #19611, and lets me make progress on my ada-mode bug.

I don't understand the change in eval.c, so I don't know how to fix it.
