[Fwd: Bug#428898: emacs22-gtk: bogus "Local variables entry is missing the prefix" complaint]

[Sven Joachim]

The following report was sent to the Debian Bug Tracking System.  I can
verify that the error still happens, at least in the Emacs 22 branch.
Can somebody debug this failure?  It seems to have to do with
c-postprocess-file-styles, but I was not able to dig any further.

Package: emacs22-gtk
Version: 22.0.99+1-1
Severity: normal

I am working on a project that has this local variables block
at the end of every file:

// Local Variables:
// mode: C++
// fill-column: 76
// c-file-style: "gnu"
// indent-tabs-mode: nil
// End:
// vim: et:sw=2:sts=2:ts=2:cino=>2s,{s,\:s,+s,t0,g0,^-2,e-2,n-2,p2s,(0,=s:

emacs21 and emacs-snapshot were perfectly fine with this, but emacs22
complains:

File local-variables error: (error "Local variables entry is missing the 
prefix")

every time I visit such a file.  I looked at files.el and could not
figure out why.
