Re: problem with font-lock in C-mode with keywords inside "//" comments

[Matt Kowitt]

Stefan,

Thank you for giving me your command-line example; by repeating your steps,
I too was able to make the problem go away.  Then, I was able to track down
the cause back to my .emacs file, where I still had:
   (cond (window-system
           (setq hilit-mode-enable-list  '(not text-mode)
                 hilit-background-mode   'light
                 hilit-inhibit-hooks     nil
                 hilit-inhibit-rebinding nil)
 
           (require 'hilit19)
           ))
When I got rid of this, everything got better.

Sorry for taking up the bandwidth -- this problem can be closed out.
