c-neutralize-syntax-in-and-mark-CPP: Args out of range: 2, 3

[Yuan MEI]

Hi,

    I am following the latest bzr revno: 99377 (emacs version
23.1.91.1).  Start with `emacs -Q' and create a new .c file.  Then
when I was trying to type `#include <stdio.h>', as soon as I typed the
leading `#', the error `c-neutralize-syntax-in-and-mark-CPP: Args out
of range: 2, 3' showed up.  Any reason why this is happening?  Also if
I turn on the font-lock in cc-mode, after the first time such error
occurred, the syntax highlighting went wrong (not completely off, but
not reliable).

Thanks,

ymei

Thanks for such a high quality bug report.

I have committed a fix into savannah.  Could you please update your bzr
Emacs and check that the bug is indeed fixed.

Alternatively, here is the patch which should fix it:
