Hi 

i opened file /usr/src/kernel-source-2.xxx/drivers/net/eepro100.c

which has arround 150 lines of comments. at line 184 or so.. . Emacs stops
changing the color (global-font-lock-mode) of comments after certain point
( 100 lines or so) after that it shows the comments as normal text and
highlights the keywords such as "do" "for" etc.. 

One more thing i noticed i selected whole buffer and said "indent-region"
Now everything is fine..
Why emacs is unable to see the comments as *comments*
I am running 21.3.1
