I'm using emacs through ssh connection on my university's server. The
problem may lay on their end of the line. So maybe I should direct my
university's Unix administrator here. I just was wondering if I'm
doing something wrong.

I get the problem very simple way. I start emacs (gemacs myproc.cc)
and enable the "Syntax Highlighting (Global Font Lock mode)" (F10 s o)

The problem occurs in both cases.

As you can see from the screen shot the version is GNU emacs 21.3.4
(x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars).

huh? dump Mode's configuration? Sorry, but I'm pretty new to emacs

I meant that I don't have .emacs file at all. I deleted it when I
noticed the problem, because I wanted to be sure that I had not caused
the problem by goofing around with it.

And No, the problem still comes about with "gemacs -q" as well as
"gemacs -q --no-site-file".
