Thank you Scott. I didn't expect that expected behaviour. Simply wrote a little program to check my SQL DDL source for that condition and found another occurrence, but harmless one :)

That's expected behaviour, comments can cover line-breaks, all it looks for is the next occurrence of '*/' Similarly, you can't nestle comments, e.g. /* outer /* inner */ outer */ ...fails; the "outer */" is passed on instead of skipped. Using an editor that can highlight syntax is helpful for spotting this.
