Thanks for taking the trouble to report this.  What appears to be the
same problem was reported by Yakov Markovitch on the CC Mode list
yesterday evening.  I've investigated this and prepared a putative fix.

That fix is in the patch below.  Could you please apply the patch,
recompile CC Mode and try it out in normal C++ code, then let me know (a
second opinion besides Yakov's) whether it fixes the problem completely.

Thanks!  At the moment, I'm trying to get everything tidied up to
release CC Mode 5.33, and I'm hoping that this is the _last_ "last
minute" bug.
