The 1.98 cc-mode package.  The below "fix" makes sure I don't run into
issues with errors in looking-at in non-cc-mode buffers.  Due to index
out of bounds or wrong or missing RE.  I don't care to debug it
further if I don't run into it again.  I added the following "check"
for c-buffer-is-cc-mode.

What I saw related to the fix is described above.  Other issue follows.

The issues with cc-mode I get are quire reproducible, except they do
not manifest in a "fresh" process.  So, for example when XEmacs can't
eval t (yes, this happens, see backtrace below).  If I restart a new
process and start to edit a file, there are no issues; it only happens
when I have a mixture of modes and/or buffers -- but seems
consistently related to cc-mode or its dependencies.

Can it be because the package is compiled with 21.5 and not 21.4?  Is
there an easy way to recompile the package?  Or all packages?

Backtrace, from trying to enter javascript mode, I just ran into
before replying.
