Yes.  I had a visitor this week, so had no time for Emacs.  The cause of
the bug was a failure to check the result code from c-forward-token-2,
so I took the time to scan the rest of CC Mode for similar failures to
check that result code, also from c-backward-token-2.  There were around
20 suspicious occurrences, which took some time to check.  In the end
only one of these (in addition to the main one) needed amending.

I committed the fixes to CC Mode and to the savannah master branch this
morning, so I am closing the bug with this post.
