When trying to ediff a C file or find occurrences in it on master I
frequently get this error.  A typical backtrace looks like


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Font-lock trying to use keywords before setting them up")
  signal(error ("Font-lock trying to use keywords before setting them up"))
  error("Font-lock trying to use keywords before setting them up")
  font-lock-compile-keywords(nil)
  font-lock-fontify-keywords-region(1 112 nil)
  font-lock-default-fontify-region(1523 1532 nil)
  c-font-lock-fontify-region(1523 1532)
  c-force-redisplay(1523 1532)
  apply(c-force-redisplay (1523 1532))
  timer-event-handler([t 25023 28385 699506 nil c-force-redisplay (1523 1532) nil 18000 nil])


I don't know what C mode is trying to do here but I just want to turn
this timer off.  Apparently, this is not possible without substantial
surgery in the cc-files so for the moment I simply use the Emacs 28
version of these files.  Doing normal work with C files is currently
impossible with master here.

I think this is bug#52297, which is still unsolved.

Thanks.  I confused this with that "other issue" Alan recently reverted.

Excellent, thanks!  I've installed it to master.

I'm closing the bug with this post (though it might have been closed
anyway).
