I have rebooted the system, and the problem has gone away.

Does problem persist? Or was it by something in Comment #2? Or whatever?

Comment 5 Roman Rakus 2008-11-13 14:40:54 UTC
No response. And looks like not a bug. If you want to get echoed /*/foo you can use:
echo '/*/echo'
Closing notabug

Comment 6 Roman Rakus 2008-11-13 14:41:31 UTC
typo:
echo '/*/foo'
