Re: comment indentations in CC-mode/xemacs

(I think I've reported this problem several times before, but I'm not sure if it's actually the same one or only something similar.) The problem can be minimized to this: Open an empty buffer in C mode. Enter "//*" followed by a line break. Run (forward-comment -1) from the beginning of the new line. The point ends up after the "*", whereas I expect it to be before the first "/" (as it is in XEmacs 19 and 20, and all versions of Emacs I've tested). The way that CC Mode initializes the syntax tables for the /* */ and // comment syntaxes haven't changed since version 5.17. [I've also cc'd David Burken in response to his similar bug report, although I'm not sure it's the same bug since he didn't specify his flavor of (X)Emacs.]
