If I start out with a standard white background and font colors, the crash occurs when I attempt to evaluate the region in question. But if those commands are in my .emacs, I don't get an immediate crash. But I do get it if I set the point at the beginning of the region and then rapidly use C-n to move the cursor down the lines of code, including the commented lines, which now have various colors.
This is repeatable on two different iMacs in two different locations.

From my earlier message:
"GNU
Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.4.0, *Step 9.0)
of 2008-08-05 on

Using an Apple intel iMac running OS 10.5.4
Running for a couple of hours, then when I tried to a region containing the following expressions,
emacs hung.
gdb
output follows the expressions whose evaluation appears to have caused
the problem. I just tried the same thing again and the problem is
repeatable.
