Before your change, the `(funcall quoter (default-value symbol))' was
within the `(if (boundp symbol) ...)' test below.  You took it outside
this test, which caused the problem of accessing an MS-DOS-specific
built-in variable on GNU/Linux.  So I figured I should test for
`(boundp symbol)' again.  `(default-boundp symbol)' does seem the
right test though.  Apparently, the built-in variable in `symbol' is
never local-only.
