In c-mode; if point is below a line such as (at top level);

char foo="()";

calculate-c-indent is fooled into thinking that it should apply
c-argdecl-indent.

This used to drive me nuts since all my .c files have;

static char *sccs_id = "%Z%%M% ... (%Y%)";

The following patch "seems" to fix the problem:
