I always keep a quick and dirty C program handy to search source files
for apparently unterminated comments (or "nested" comments).  I did this
one day after spending hours looking for a bug created when an unterminated
comment swallowed up a line of code.  Since then it has saved my butt on
a couple of occasions.
