[ Sorry&Thanks: I just pushed a fix for this.  ]

Hmm... I've had the `elpa.git` checked out for years, and do `make` in
it regularly, yet this plain error got through.
Obviously my `make` only recompiles the changed files, but still,
I wonder how I managed to have a `dismal.elc` more recent than `dismal.el`
given the obvious error from which it suffered.
