If you opened a file with a language option leading to the addition of
a quotation pair to `font-latex-quotes-list' and after that another
file without such a language option, `font-latex-quote-regexp-beg' and
`font-latex-quotes-list' were out of sync because the latter is
buffer-local while the former wasn't.  This lead to "error during
redisplay: stringp, nil" errors (or some such; I don't have the exact
error message now).

I'd appreciate it if people could do some tests with language-specific
files (loading ngerman.sty or italian.sty for example) and non-latex
specific files containing language-specific quotation marks ("`.."' or
">.."< for example) and look for any pecualiarities in font locking
behavior or errors in the *Messages* buffer.
