parse-sexp-lookup-properties is t in C++ Mode so that text properties
can be set on pertinent <s and >s (in templates) to mark them as

OK.  This doesn't happen to me in the Emacs 22 release branch.  But
c-beginning-of-current-token was changed recently.  I suspect you might
have some option set which exposes a bug in that function.

Did you start your emacs with -Q?  If not does the error still happen
when you do?  If you didn't use -Q, could you please dump your CC Mode
configuration with C-c C-b and post it here.
