Bo> JMarc, How do you think of this note-eats-blank patch?
I asked the question on c.t.t. and now I understand why the comment
environment works as it does: the code we output is
a%
\begin{comment}
comment
\end{comment}
b
[OK, actually, we have a % at the end of the comment, but we should
not]
So, when the environment does it work, what remains?
a%
b
and this gives "ab" in dvi.
So the problematic part in the code is the first %...
Having said that, I do not have a much better solution. I thought
a\begin{comment}
comment
\end{comment}
b
but it also eats the space.
Conclusion: you can apply your patch to 1.4, but remove the % before
