This usually indicates that you failed to match the group delimiters (i.e., 
{ or }) someplace.  If your LaTeX file is large it is often helpful to
comment out clean (matched) sections of your file so that the missing
delimiter can be quickly isolated.  An emacs macro to place % at the
beginning of lines or one of the comment style files should work.
