I've noticed a minor display glitch in C font-lock-mode.  Here's how you 
repeat it:

- Enter C mode
- Invoke font-lock-mode
- Enter a function declaration like:

void foo( char *whatever,
         int something,
         short somethingelse,
         long bar )
{

When you enter this, use the tab key at the beginning of each line to let 
C-mode put the text where it thinks it should be.  "foo" should end up 
being emboldened and italicized.  

- Now, move the cursor to the beginning of the "void" line.
- Hit <return> about five times to insert some blank lines.
- Hit the backspace key (mapped to delete-backward-char for me) to delete 
the blank lines.
- Notice the trail of one-pixel dots which appear under the 'f' in "foo"
