What kind of file?  If it is a C file, look for C mode customizations
in your .emacs file.

Another alternative is to do the binary search dance: comment out the
second half of .emacs, see if the error is still there.  If the error
is still there, comment out more.  If the error is gone, re-enable
some commented-out sections.  Repeat until you get to the troublesome
statement.
