My box at home even shows the problem but I gave up fiddling around with changing the sequence of lines or setting comments anywhere.
If a comment should be necessary at the top or somewhere else this is a bug - a brain dead bug. Moreover it's undocumented and unaceptable for me and I really do not want to waste my limited time to track down brain dead bugs. If no one has a better idea I think I will file a bug report in the next couple of days. Thanks for your comments Andreas.
