Periodic bug in the fontification of text mode buffers

[Davin Pearson]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing
list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I sent this email to gnu.emacs.bug but received no response so I am
resending it to you:

Periodically my text-mode buffers are partly fontified in the face
given by font-lock-string-face.  To fix this bug, I added the
following lines to font-lock-mode-hook:

(if (eq major-mode 'text-mode)
 (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-string-face nil)))

The second bug is that periodically my text-mode buffers are partly
fontified in the face given by font-lock-comment-face.  To fix this
bug, I added the following lines to font-lock-mode-hook:

(if (eq major-mode 'text-mode)
 (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-comment-face nil)))

So the result is that I managed to fix the bugs.

But I still wonder what caused the bugs to occur in the first place.
