I have the same problem, it happens when you try to reply OR to post.
It also occurs when we set up an electric-c-mode hook, ala:

	(setq c-mode-hook 'elec-c-mode)

The same error message is generated in all 4 cases:
	 "Wrong type argument: symbolp 0"

I've tried running it with debug-on-error set to true, but I'm still having
some problems making heads-or-tails of what's going on. It actually looks
like the symbolp error is being caused by an *error routine* which is,
in turn, being called for some other reason!

Weird. I'm on a SYSV box, if that helps. RMS probably only uses BSD machines
(lucky dog).
