Would like JSCompiler to error if a comment block never ends

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I wrote the following code into my .js file:

/**
 * "Resets" this view by requesting the root view.
 *
detroit.picker.CropView.prototype.reset_ = function() {
  ...
};

2. Compiled
3. Ran

What is the expected output?

Should fail to compile!  If the comment block never ends in a file, it 
should be an error.

What do you see instead?

Compiler was happy, browser was happy, up until I needed to call reset_.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest and greatest.

Are there some flags you're using that I should enable?  I'm definitely sure 
the code 
compiled.  Maybe it's the result of another file being concatted with it before 
it was 
built, which would could have had a */ as part of the copyright notice.  Would 
JSCompiler be concatting before verification?

nope. we never concatenate files naively. 

do you have repro steps? maybe there's some other tool in your build setup 
that's 
concatenating things together?

since i can't repro, i'm marking as invalid. please reopen if you can come up 
with 
repro steps. i still think the problem is probably rooted in some other build 
tool 
you're using.
