parentheses matching failure on valid sexp

To reproduce this bug:

1. Save the attached file as foobar.el.
2. Run “emacs -Q foobar.el”.
3. Delete the trailing right parenthesis on line 435.
4. Type a right parenthesis.

The correct behavior would be to match the leading left parenthesis on
line 1.  The actual buggy behavior is that the message “Mismatched
parentheses” is given.

This bug is sensitive to the size of the input.  If you delete much of
the input, then the bug goes away.

I hope this report helps someone track this problem down and fix it.

Joe
