Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.0.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

The following transcript shows two problems that xrdb has when
parsing comments,

    1. At !124 the error message `:1: unterminated comment' is
       printed, but I see no syntax error here.

    2. After !124 is completed, xrdb returns a successful, ie, 0
       error status to the shell, inspite of printing an error
       message.  As you can see at !127, I have my shell setup to
       always print the exit status of the command just run when
       it has a non-zero value.

    123 jeff ~ $ echo '! /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/*'
    ! /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/*

    124 jeff ~ $ echo '! /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/*' | xrdb -merge 
    :1: unterminated comment

    125 jeff ~ $ echo '! /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/'
    ! /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/

    126 jeff ~ $ echo '! /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/' | xrdb -merge 

    127 jeff ~ $ false
    --> exit status 1

Thanks,

Apparently, '/*' needs an ending '*/'. Looks like it's a syntax for
multiple line comments.
Also, I don't see any problem with the exit status, $? looks ok.

Closing then.
