Description

Try to compile the following MXML application:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<js:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:js="library://ns.apache.org/flexjs/basic">
<!--
</js:Application>

The compiler will get stuck in an infinite loop.

If you close the comment with -->, the application will compile successfully.
