bug#30882: 24.3; c-perl misbehavior

[Steven Hirsch]

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

Edit any Perl source file using c-perl.  Trigger a syntax expansion by,
e.g. entering 'if' followed by space.  Having done so, the next key
stroke (regardless of what it is) causes an annoying bell and a
minibuffer message that implies a 'C-h' was entered prior to the actual
key.  No such character was entered.  This makes the editing process
highly annoying.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/etc/DEBUG.
