EFS 1.15 bug: compiling in emacs 19.34

Greetings earthlings:

In a clean Emacs, I was manually byte-compiling the distribution per the
instructions, and had some kind of weird trouble with the "passwd.el" file.
I did the two magic files first, then did byte-recompile-directory.
Things were fine, but then Emacs went into an c-G interruptable infinite
loop compiling that file.  Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to
what combination of things I did to win.  Punting, starting another Emacs
loading the two files, and doing m-x byte-compile-file, probably.
