Small niggly problem but I was converting a script I stumbled across and ran it through the PHP3->3 converter.
The converter died on comments ending in semi-colons like this
/* this is a comment */ ;

Don't know if it's a valid thing or just poor scripting but I thought I'd point it out.

PHP/FI 2 accepted this, although IMHO it shouldn't have.  The convertor
'eats' the comment, and is left with a semicolon.  Since empty statements
weren't valid in PHP/FI 2, the convertor rejects that code.
It's possible to fix this specific issue, but it has potential to break
other things, so I'd rather not do it...
