Description:
------------
The PHP parser produced output to the web page starting in the middle of a multi-line comment.  The trigger was a '>' at the end of a line of comment text.  All text after that character became output, even though it was within the <?php and ?> tags.

There were two email addresses, but the problem began at the end of the second email address string.  (see example below)

I previously used this code in PHP 5.1.6 with no problem.
The code was included from a file with a require_once statement.
(The names in the example are fictitious.)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
/**
 * This file contains the XYZ class, "xyz"
 * Licensed under the BSD license
 * All credits to abcdefgh(http://www.abcdefgh.se/)
 * for letting this code out in the free where it belongs!
 *
 * Contributions made by:
 * Jorge Lopez <jorge.lopez@gmail.com>
 *
 * @author Robert "Littleguy" Shubert <anyman@abcdefgh.se>
 * @version 0.1
 * @package AB-XYZ
 */
?>


Expected result:
----------------
No output.

The parser should not have stopped parsing PHP code until the ?> string was reached.

Actual result:
--------------
 * @version 0.1
 * @package AB-XYZ
 */
?>
Error undefined class ....

I tried the latest CVS snapshot (4/24) and did not see the problem.
