[plt-dev] Re: [plt-bug] all/10233: error on RUN in BSL, apparently related to test engine

(Do you want me to file another bug report?)

I don't know what "clever manipulation of source location" could  
mean, so I am posting the essence of the big-bang macro right here.  
As you can see I am doing _nothing_ with locations. Is it possible  
that I should use *syntax*/loc? (This may help with another bug I  
have re check-syntax and the new big-bang.)
