[FX.php List] [OT] Bizarre comment behaviour

Of course, about 2 minutes after posting, I found the real culprit...

Somehow, an errant high ASCII character had crept into the two lines  
that I use on nearly every php page:

	include_once('include/db_config.php');	// DataBase Configuration File.
	include_once('include/FX/FX.php');	// FX.php file

Just after the semi-colon - my other Mac servers didn't seem to care,  
but this Windows server sure does. Tested a bunch of other sites I've  
doen recently, and this set of code seems the only one affected - very  
strange, but at least explains why the behaviour went away when I  
changed it to multi-line commenting - able to use normal commetning  
again now...
