little bug in the REGEX interpreter?

I have a declared a function containing some debug code as well as a couple of comments. In addition, I added a comment area enclosed within /* and */. This gives something like that:

function foo()
{
  /*//a comment
  var myvar=0;
  //another comment
  */
}

Uncaught SyntaxError: Got UNFINISHED REGEX expected EOF

It seems that /*// are interpreted by the REGEX, isn't it?

Thanks! That's a really good spot - it's actually not the regex parser at all, it's the block comment handling!

It treats /*/ as a complete block comment, when actually a complete comment would be /**/

Ok, it should be fixed in the latest builds now
