I use mic-paren (http://user.it.uu.se/~mic/emacs.shtml) for parenthesis
matching. I just did a very simple test with 21 levels of nesting it appears
to work correctly. That is what I would recommend.
Here is the long description from the file header:
;;; mic-paren.el is an extension and replacement to the packages paren.el
;;; and stig-paren.el for Emacs. When mic-paren is active (it is activated
;;; when loaded) Emacs normal parenthesis matching is deactivated. Instead
;;; parenthesis matching will be performed as soon as the cursor is
;;; positioned at a parenthesis. The matching parenthesis (or the entire
;;; expression between the parenthesises) is highlighted until the cursor
;;; is moved away from the parenthesis. Features include:
;;; o Both forward and backward parenthesis matching (simultaneously if
;;; cursor is between two expressions).
;;; o Indication of mismatched parenthesises.
;;; o Recognition of "escaped" (also often called "quoted") parenthesises.
;;; o Option to match "escaped" parens too, especially in (La)TeX-mode
;;; (e.g. matches expressions like "\(foo bar\)" properly).
;;; o Offers two functions as replacement for forward-sexp and
;;; backward-sexp which handle properly quoted parens (s.a.). These new
;;; functions can automatically be bounded to the orgiginal binding of
;;; the standard forward-sexp and backward-sexp functions.
;;; o Option to activate matching of paired delimiter (i.e. characters with
;;; syntax '$'). This is useful for writing in LaTeX-mode for example.
;;; o Option to select in which situations (always, never, if match, if
;;; mismatch) the entire expression should be highlighted or only the
;;; matching parenthesis.
;;; o Message describing the match when the matching parenthesis is
;;; off-screen (vertical and/or horizontal). Message contains the
;;; linenumber. Option to select in which cases this message should be
;;; displayed.
;;; o Optional delayed highlighting (useful on slow systems),
;;; o Functions to activate/deactivate mic-paren.el is provided.
;;; o Numerous options to control the behaviour and appearance of
;;; mic-paren.el.

Subject: Need help with show-paren-mode
This has always worked for me until now, when I am dealing with many
levels of indentation. The interpreter does not find error with the
code but show-paren-mode loses parentheses matching after 15 or so
levels of nesting. Is there a setting that I can change to make
show-paren-mode capable of dealing with this level of matching?
This is the code that I use in my .emacs file to set parentheses
matching:
(show-paren-mode 1)
