COMMENTS ARE NOT EXCLUDED WHEN MT SKIPS RULES

I believe that MT is counting comment lines as actual lines of code when it encounters "skip next rule" or "skip next 2 rules".
So for example:

This works:
if n8>4 then skip next 2 rules
ir=1
exit rules, execute Outgoing Action

more code with conditionals
etc




This fails:
if n8>4 then skip next 2 rules
//ir IS USED TO DIRECT FADE TO GREY WHEN
//LAST CLIP WAS IN ONE OF FIRST FOUR TRACKS
ir=1
exit rules, execute Outgoing Action

more code with conditionals
etc




Instead of skipping the two lines:
******************************
ir=1
exit rules, execute Outgoing Action
******************************

and then proceeding with the next conditionals, MT seems to be counting the two comments as valid code, and then executes
ir=1
exit rules, execute Outgoing Action
......with unwanted results.

I'm surprised because I seem to remember such comments not causing this error in my code up until today. But, sure enough, I do get this type of error.

Of course I can get rid of the problem by moving the comments out of the way, but it's nice to have them right there.
