See, there is your problem ;).

Seriosuly though, given that people use different tools some
reformatting of comments simply can't be avoided.  If I make changes
to a comment I'll make some effort to minimize the diff, but if the
changes are in the middle of the comment, or if the end-result simply
looks wrong I'll simply hit M-q and be done with it.  And */ on a line
of its own will almost certainly make me hit M-q.  Which is why I
brought this up.

In this case I'd simply move the last word of the previous line to the
next line to avoid the dangling */.

Cheers,

Mark
