In GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Mon Aug 28 1989 on ew00 (silicon-graphics-unix)

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).
