[gnu.emacs.bug] indent-sexp infinite loop

Calling scheme-indent-sexp or indent-sexp with the cursor on the first
paren of the following expression causes an infinite loop.

(;)

This is the minimal case - the problem actually exists whenever the
closing paren is part of a comment.  Such a situation is possible in
"real" code (I know - it happened to me).
