When a special char is entered to comment area, it would failed to compile. Take a look at the attched file (HelloClient.java). In line 1 and 4, it has \346preinvoke\306 as part comment and I assume the compiler should ignore the line; however, it is giveing the following error and no class file created. When I compiled with "-source 1.4", it has warning and class file created.

I don't know how the \346 and \306 was typed, this is coming from a test. See below for locaiton of the test. Note: This is CORBA test.

I have tried many systems and found 1 syteme that will not have compilation error. The hostname is kuai.
