Piotr --

Many thanks for the patch.  Sorry, our lex is quite a bit rusty, and it took us 
quite a while to look at this.  :-\

I have a few questions:

1. What happens if the file ends while in <comment>?  E.g., if a the last line 
of the file is "/* Hello".

2. Does this same kind of fixup need to be applied to the 5 other flex files in 
the OMPI source tree?
