This looks wrong to me also.  It isn't clear what it is supposed to be, 
because it looks like to_line is used for two different purposes.  In 
one case, it is supposed to be the last line of the file (LC_LEAVE), and 
in the other case it looks like it should be the first line.

I believe so.  This is used for #line.  So if at line 100 in the input 
file we have a #line that maps to line 1 in a different file, then 
from_line is 100 and to_line is 1.

This I don't see.  With a trivial input file, from_line and to_line are 
both 1, and nothing bad happens.
