[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.84; auctex has trouble finding master file on error

[Arthur Ogus]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  If the bug (or problem) is triggered by a specific
(La)TeX file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file
showing the problem and include it in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is related to a bug a reported earlier.  Often when I run latex
on a file, if there is an error, the program asks where the master  
file is,
saying "default this file".  However then no matter what I enter, it
opens a new buffer called "file" which is blank, instead of moving
the point to the location of the error in the tex file itself.
In te file at hand, this happens if the error is as shown, on line 83.
However if I put an error really early in the file, there is no problem.

Isn't this a bug?  It makes running tex with auctex very painful, a lot
of the time.
