Re: Mysterious fontification/C++ context issue

    This would nullify the fix for the bug reported by Martin a few weeks
    ago, namely: Load syntax.c and immediately jump forward to a certain
    function.  The fontification was seriously wrong.

Could you please explain this more clearly?  What was that fix,
and why would this change interfere with it?  I don't remember
the previous discussion any more.
