Package: bind
Version: 1:8.4.1-1
Severity: minor
named.conf's man page says that C, C++ and sh comments are allowed,
and that C comments cannot be nested within C comments. But it
doesn't say whether it is permissible for two comments to overlap
/* Foo // bar */ baz
or whether it is permissible for one kind of comment to be nested
within another kind of comment
// Foo /* bar */ baz
The first example is especially problematic because it is ambiguous.
If we first remove /*...*/ then baz is non-comment, whereas if
//...<newline> is removed first then baz is inside a comment that
continues onto the next line.

Hi,
the bind9 bug list grew too much and the Debian BIND team cannot
simply test all the reported bugs against versions not in stable, so
this is mass bug close, as either the version is no longer relevant
(because of old-old-stable 9.8.x or old-stable 9.9.5 or even older
version of bind9) or the bug was already fixed.
However, if you can reproduce the bug with a current version in stable,
please use Debian BTS 'found <bug> <version_you_reproduced_the_issue>'
command to retag the bug and reopen it.
Cheers,
Ondrej
