    According to CodingStyle, the preferred style of the multi-line comments
is this:

/*

You are of course correct but on the other hand I have consistently used
the incorrect form so far also in g_ffs.c so...  I think correcting only
this comment would bring inconsistency so I should rather resend it with
other (two) comments corrected as well.  Anyone thinks I should do that?

And I promise, I will remember to use the correct format in my future
files.
