Pro*C versions mis-parse C/C++ comments differently

[Quoted] Has anyone seen this odd behavior? We've been using Pro*C version 10.2.0.2.0 (code=ansi_c and parse=partial), happily compiling code like

//this is an OK comment
//***but this looks like an un-ended C comment to a dumb parser
#ifdef notdef

/* some stuff in here
*/
#endif

but we recently had version 10.2.0.1.0 installed on another machine -- and THAT version complains:

Syntax error at line 6, column 2, file D.pc: Error at line 6, column 2 in file D.pc
#endif

I suppose that the 10.2.0.1.0 version thinks that the comment on line 2 doesn't end until line 5!

I'd sure like to hear that I'm not the only one who's seen this problem! What do you think about this?
