It happens with -Q.

I'm using the CVS code checked out today. Actually, this problem
exists for me since the code checked out using -D20060525 or later.
The first entry in lisp/ChangeLog in my code is:

2006-06-03  Vivek Dasmohapatra  <address@hidden>

       * progmodes/sh-script.el (sh-quoted-exec): New face for quoted
       exec constructs like `foo bar`.
       (sh-quoted-subshell): New helper function to search for a possibly
       nested subshell (like `` or $()) within a "" quoted string.
       (sh-font-lock-keywords-var): Add sh-quoted-exec for Bash.
       (sh-apply-quoted-subshell): Flag quote characters inside a
       subshell, which is itself already in a quoted region, as
       punctuation, since this is the closest to what they actually are.
       (sh-font-lock-syntactic-keywords): Add sh-quoted-subshell and
       sh-apply-quoted-subshell.
       (sh-font-lock-syntactic-face-function): Apply the new face for
       text inside `` instead of the old font-lock-string-face.

I have this problem in every .c file I opens. I'm using Ubuntu Dapper,
which is upgraded everyday. I checked out emacs from
":pserver:address@hidden:/sources/emacs".
