the ibm compiler stops w/ an error on this.  a single empty exectuable
statement (even just a ; following the comment) makes it happy.  

(and you have to stay away from using C++ // style comments unless you also
give the compiler a special -qcpluscmt flag to allow them.  at least some of
the test programs in the 0.8.4 tarball used that syntax instead of the /* */
standard C comments.  again, an error on the ibm.)
