bug#7181: 24.0.50; args-out-of-range while reverting C++ header file

[Oscar Fuentes]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually 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.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

emacs -Q
C-x C-f some-moderately-big-header-file.h
<make some big modification on disk to the file>
M-x revert-buffer
Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 580 36722)

The buffer is left semi-reverted, on an edited state. Doing a M-x
revert-buffer again works ok.

Setting debug-on-error to t shows this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 580 36722)

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
