I've experienced this on solaris8. When not wanting to start a fresh

diddling with the parenthesis setting via the menus.

Me too! :-)
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.

Once the problem showed up here, it showed up in all buffers I looked
at, including the VM INBOX Presentation and normal text mode buffers!
Than this workaround would rather be lenghtly:-(
(XEmacs 21.4 (patch 1) "Copyleft" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) of
Thu Apr 19 2001 on jena)
So at least I'm not the only one seeing this problem;-)
Thanks,

If you do it as soon as the problem starts showing up, then it should
only be in one or two buffers. I've only ever had to reload the current
buffer. Perhaps because I'm using a different paren-mode, it acts
slightly differently when it breaks.
