That sounds strange indeed.

Could you possibly say which language mode (c-mode, pike-mode, ....)
you're using, give an example of a function which is being wrongly
indented, and supply the diagnostic information you get from C-c C-b
(`c-submit-bug-report').

Alternatively, you could try putting point on the offending source line
and typing C-c C-o.  Follow the prompts and reindent your source.  If
this works, you could then capture the C-c C-o operation as a lisp form
by doing C-x <esc> <esc> immediately afterwards.  This will give you
something like:

(c-set-offset (quote topmost-intro) 0 nil)

You could then put this into a mode initialisation hook, as described in
the CC Mode info page "Customizing Indentation".  I know this part of the
info is not easy reading, but it's well worth spending time on.
