Emacs 18.57 on hp9k3bsd (geech.ai.mit.edu).

find-backup-file-name loses if kept-old-versions is very large, due to:

			  (let ((v (nthcdr kept-old-versions versions)))
			    (rplacd (nthcdr (1- number-to-delete) v) ())
			    v)

If kept-old-versions is, for example, 8388607, (nthcdr 8388607 versions) will
be nil, so rplacd will barf, since (nthcdr foo nil) is nil.
