That sounds very odd. Does this only happen with C mode? Does it happen if you start emacs with `emacs -Q'? After it has happened, if you do M-x font-lock-mode, do the missing characters become visible? When a character is invisible, please post the results of pressing C-u C-x = with point on the invisible character.
