Re: font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region: could someone check?

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

fixed the bug -- thanks!

Emacspeak Users:
tex-mode and derivatives should now behave correctly.

Many many years ago, I had added a text-mode-hook in emacspeak
that treated newlines as whitespace --- this was to avoid clause
boundaries at each line when speaking a buffer; that ends up
interacting badly with font-lock because the newline then no
longer counts as the end of a comment.

I've checked in the fix; make sure after loading the updated
version 
that you've not inadvertantly saved text-mode-hook via custom --
if you have you will need to M-x customize-variable
text-mode-hook and remote the function there that modifies the
syntax entry for newline (ascii 10).
