As someone has pointed out to me, it's very bad practice for the
loading of a file to have side effects like the last two lines of
linenumbers.el --

(or ln-process
    (ln-start-process))

-- and makes for trouble if one wants to dump an Emacs including such
code.  It would be much better therefore to delete these two lines
from linenumbers.el and insert them in the .emacs file after the
loading instructions.

Apologies for yet another change.

Neil.
