Problem with parenthesis matching and autoindentation in MacOS X version of emacs

[Juha Nieminen]

  I'm using emacs in MacOS X, and it reports its version as:
GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin8.10.1, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 
2007-08-20 on macpro

  It has an annoying problem/bug regarding parenthesis matching and 
autoindentation. (These problems do not happen in the linux nor the 
Windows versions.) For example if I write this code in C++ mode:

void foo()
{
    if(x < 0 || x >= puzzleWidth || y < 0 || y >= puzzleHeight)
        {
        }
}

it will report a "Mismatched parenteses" at the parenthesis which ends 
the if conditional, and after that it will autoindent the {} symbols 
wrongly (as seen above). If I replace the above with this:

void foo()
{
    const bool isOutside =
        x < 0 || x >= puzzleWidth || y < 0 || y >= puzzleHeight;
    if(isOutside)
    {
    }
}

then it will not report the mismatch, and will indent the {} properly.

  Any idea what could be wrong? (As said, this doesn't happen in linux 
nor Windows.)
