This has happened to me on Solaris 2.7, 21.2.46 and earlier. Haven't
had it happen on 21.4.x yet. It seems that this happens when I've
been running some shell (like ilisp) running inside xemacs that's
producing a fair amount of output.
It's quite annoying and I haven't figured out what causes or how to
fix it. I always end of quitting.
I've had this happen with paren-mode 'paren as well. I haven't yet
looked into it enough to fix it, although I think it usually starts
happening after some error occurs.
A better workaround than quitting/restarting is to do:
M-x paren-set-mode (repeat until paren-mode is off)
C-x C-v RET (find-alternate-file: same filename)
M-x paren-set-mode (repeat until it's what you want)
A small chunk of lisp could be used to do the same thing, but I'd
rather keep the problem just annoying enough to work around that
eventually it pushes me past the "must solve it properly" threshold.
