Description

Created a line (amongst several) which contained the following:

1. 1. #* *# ${user

The source of the problem seems to come from having a multi-line comment follow a
line comment. Other character sequences after these comments appear to cause
other subsequence parer error.

The above example causes the following parser error:

Caused by: org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered "\r\n" at line 60, column 16.
Was expecting one of:
"}" ...
