emacs 20.7 AIX RMAIL

A after years of working, my RMAIL summary buffer stopped fontifying
today.  Other files worked fine.  I found that this .emacs line was
causing the problem:

	(setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)

I commented it out and all is well.  Was the line incorrect?  What are
the implications of leaving the variable nil?

Under Emacs-21, the default is not nil but `jit-lock-mode' which is similar
to lazy-lock, except it's more efficient (and less buggy).
