[tex-mode.el] Fontification in verbatim

[Ralf Angeli]

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

[This is a follow-up to the article
 <news:address@hidden> originally posted
 to gnu.emacs.help.]

Suppose you have the following LaTeX file:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Here is some text
\begin{verbatim}
\textbf{
\end{verbatim}
and here the text goes on.
\end{document}

A whole lot of text after the \textbf{ will be fontified bold.  Other
examples can easily be constructed.

Because one way to deal with this problem could be to inhibit or
change fontification depending on certain conditions or states, I'll
post a message to emacs-devel for a discussion of the broader scope
besides this bug report.  I hope this won't be considered as spamming.

Cheers,
Ralf
