Thanks for looking into this, but I'd like to emphasize that so far I've 
only seen this bug on GNU/Linux.

Here's the recipe:

1. Have case2.html.erb saved somewhere (attached). The contents of the 
file are somewhat important, and also its length: if I delete the 
"sparta" line - no bug.

2. Check out this repository: https://github.com/purcell/mmm-mode

2. Open the test file in some Emacs instance, make a modification 
(prepend the first line with some spaces, for example). Don't save it.

3. Open a new Emacs instance (-Q). I'd recommend doing it with branch 
emacs-24, since trunk currently has some problems with font-lock 
(Bug#13751).

4. Paste the following into *scratch* and evaluate it:

(add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/mmm-mode")

(require 'mmm-auto)
(require 'mmm-erb)

(setq mmm-global-mode 'auto)

(mmm-add-mode-ext-class 'html-erb-mode "\\.html\\.erb\\'" 'erb)
(mmm-add-mode-ext-class 'html-erb-mode nil 'html-js)
(mmm-add-mode-ext-class 'html-erb-mode nil 'html-css)

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.html\\.erb\\'" . html-erb-mode))

5. Open the test file, it will tell you that the file is locked.

6. Press `s' or `p'. See it crash.
