Thanks for that, Eli!  It made it fairly easy to track down the bug,
which was simply failing to check if point had advanced too far at one
critical place in c-font-lock-declarators.

Netjune: would you please try out the following patch (it should apply
cleanly to the cc-fonts.el in ..../emacs-24.5/lisp/progmodes/), and
confirm that the bug has been fixed, or tell me what is still causing
problems.

Thanks for the bug report!
