  Thanks for the bug report, and your will to help by working on it.

  I gave it a preliminar look and the problem is very simple, the
comment terminator in the test page is "--!>" instead of "-->" , so dillo
thinks of a long unterminated comment.

  "--!>" is not a legal comment terminator in HTML 4.01.

  Why some browsers honour it (e.g. SGML corner case, heuristics, ...)
I don't know. It may be on purpose or just a side effect.
