Old Synopsis: Possible comment problem is /bin/sh New Synopsis: sh(1): Possible comment problem State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: jilles State-Changed-When: Sun Apr 7 16:13:03 UTC 2013 State-Changed-Why: I compiled stable/4 sh and it shows the same a comment follows#comment. as recent sh and all other Bourne-style shells I tried. POSIX is also clear that a '#' only begins a comment if it is at the start of a word. This means that it can be (in most cases) at the start of a line, after whitespace or after an operator such as ')' and '&&'. There is likely something different going on here. I notice that tcsh does begin a comment in your script.
