It happens to me irregularly.  There is generally no way to re-create
it, so I've stopped reporting these.  I wish there were some way to
record all actions in c-mode buffers such that they could be saved and
re-played when this type of problem happens.  If there were some sort of
debug flag I could turn on, I would turn it on by default and hopefully
be able to catch some useful information.
