Emacs bug #700 (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=700) contained a patch by Dmitry Bolshakov addressing 2 issues in hide-show minor mode. The fix to one of the issues got integrated into the code base, but the other one fell through the cracks, I think. The issue it fixes is to prevent hide-show mode from parsing braces inside comments. These braces can confuse the parser, since they don't necessarily match up. I'm attaching Dmitry's test case that demonstrates the issue, and his patch to fix it. dima
