first of all, I got the very much similar problem with
hnf-mode (2.5)
  http://nijino.homelinux.net/hnf-mode/

And the patch by Okazaki San fixed my problem. Thank you.

  I have looked at the patch, and minimized the changes in
diff wise.  It is logically exactly the same as the first
patch.

  This second patch also fixes my problem. If you look at this
patch, the changes almost nothing to the human being (just not
modifying char c).
