"7.0051" sounds like a "snapshot" number of 7.0aa ALPHA.
Your "line 1688" (the empty line before "/* ignore comment and empty lines
*/") appears as line 1742 in my current version of ex_docmd.c for Vim 7.1. The
latest patch applying to that file is 7.1.156.
Best regards,
Tony.

The owner of a large furniture store in the mid-west arrived in France
on a buying trip. As he was checking into a hotel he struck up an
acquaintance with a beautiful young lady. However, she only spoke
French and he only spoke English, so each couldn't understand a word
the other spoke. He took out a pencil and a notebook and drew a
picture of a taxi. She smiled, nodded her head and they went for a
ride in the park. Later, he drew a picture of a table in a restaurant
with a question mark and she nodded, so they went to dinner. After
dinner he sketched two dancers and she was delighted. They went to
several nightclubs, drank champagne, danced and had a glorious
evening. It had gotten quite late when she motioned for the pencil and
drew a picture of a four-poster bed. He was dumbfounded, and has never
be able to understand how she knew he was in the furniture business.
