Many thanks for useful responses to those that replied -
to answer some of the questions -

A way to reproduce fairly reliably :

In C++ mode, edit some deeply nested set of parens like:


((argc > 2) && (argv[3]!=NULL) &&
(argv[3][0]=='u'))?U::RTNL::RT::Type_t::RT_UNICAST:(
       ((argc > 2) && (argv[3]!=NULL) &&
(argv[3][0]=='l'))?U::RTNL::RT::Type_t::RT_LOCAL:(
       ((argc > 2) && (argv[3]!=NULL) &&
(argv[3][0]=='b'))?U::RTNL::RT::Type_t::RT_BROADCAST:(
       ((argc > 2) && (argv[3]!=NULL) &&
(argv[3][0]=='a'))?U::RTNL::RT::Type_t::RT_ANYCAST:(
                                     ((argc > 2) && (argv[3]!=NULL) &&
(argv[3][0]=='a'))?U::RTNL::RT::Type_t::RT_ANYCAST:(

An attempt to add another clause with Emacs c++-mode enabled
fairly reliably results in a core dump.

But I will try playing around with those settings and see if that helps ...

Thanks,
Jason
