In GNU Emacs 18.52.3 of Sat Dec  3 1988 on hpsok5 (hpux)

My emacs-lisp buffers do not recognize the quote character as a quote
character, if you get my meaning.  As a result, I get intermittant
parenthesis-matching problems when I have string constants including
(unmatched) parentheses.

lisp-mode.el's load-time block which begins

(if (not emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table)
    (let ((i 0))
      (setq emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table (make-syntax-table))
      (while (< i ?0)

should include

      (modify-syntax-entry ?" "\"   " emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table)
