Please mention which system you are reporting bugs in. I assume this
report is for RT 6.0A. (At least that is the only place I could find
a problem on line 22!)
The problem with time.h isn't a nested comment, it is an extra /*
appearing inside a comment, probably an accidental duplication. Is
that technically a no-no? Apparently the compiler didn't think so.
It would appear that the language definition might be a mite fuzzy on
this detail.
