I can reproduce this exactly in XEmacs 21.4.1 "CopyLeft".

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
- open a new file, say ~/tmp/sample.rb
- load ruby-mode and enable it
- start editing ~/tmp/sample.rb: '/test/'
As long as the second forward slash is entered XEmacs popups
an error message:
"(warning/warning) Error caught in `font-lock-pre-idle-hook': (malformed-list
?\')"
However, if I disable font-lock and then enable it again,
problem goes away for this buffer.
