In GNU Emacs 21.2.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit)
 of 2002-10-23 on carnac
configured using `configure  --prefix=/user/caipv6/legras'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil
  value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
  value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
  value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
  value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
  value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
  value of $LC_TIME: nil
  value of $LANG: C
  locale-coding-system: nil
  default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

It seems that emacs 21.2.2 is confused when "case" and ":" are both
used inside a string; see my example in a c-mode buffer:

int
main()
{
    int res;
    printf("case A :\n");                                       
    printf("case B :\n");
                res = 0; /* indentation broken! */
}

I didn't have this problem this 21.7.1.

Any idea?

Cheers
TL
