[tldistro] branch update: line number fix

When tex --file-line-error was used and an \errmessage was given inside
\scantokens, the line number could be printed as garbage (from
unmalloced memory).  This bug has been around ever since
--file-line-error was invented.  We just committed a fix to the trunk
and branch.

Some discussion at
http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2011-September/030215.html.

And here is the README.branch2011 link, for convenience:
http://tug.org/svn/texlive/branches/branch2011/Build/source/README.branch2011

Please report if problems are seen.

Best,
karl
