Did you try setting comment-column via customize? I haven't played around with customize much, but I hear tell that Emacs can be surly about setq-ing things out from under it. It's possible (though I don't know), that this is the cause for the oddness. If that's not it, then I have no idea what's going on. :( Jeff
