I can't reproduce this. I'd guess it is a font-related crash like https://debbugs.gnu.org/30045 If it still happens to you with Emacs 27.1, I suggest you report it upstream with M-x report-emacs-bug.

13 years on, if you are still interested in this feature, I suggest you ask for it on the cc-mode mailing list: https://sourceforge.net/p/cc-mode/mailman/cc-mode-help/ where the cc-mode maintainer can hopefully give a definitive answer. No development of cc-mode happens on Debian.
