There seems to be a peculiar bug in Emacs 19.34 when Outline Mode and
Font Lock Mode are used together.  Here's one way to reproduce it:
Visit file gnu/emacs/etc/OTHER.EMACSES in the djgpp directory.  Move
the cursor on the line `* How is this Emacs different from Twenex Emacs?'
and press `C-c C-d'.  If you have Font Lock Mode enabled by default,
Emacs will crash immediately, otherwise type `M-x font-lock-mode' to
crash it.  This can be done with other headings and other files using
Outline Mode.  Sometimes Emacs doesn't crash but gets stuck in a loop
ringing the bell; then pressing `C-z' will crash it.
