    Synopsis:  This is indeed a bug in the latest development system as
    well.  There are still a number of problems with correctly handling
    delimited comments inside #|| ||# as well as #| |#.  It is being added
    to the bug list.  Thanks for the report.

	In Symbolics 3600 ZWEI in Release 6.0 Beta IIc, microcode TMC5-MIC 315, on Lisp Machine Buddy Holly:

	Clicking middle on any character in #||
	fails to underline the region to the cooresponding ||# .

Sorry, I don't understand the bug.  In 6.0, it does everything I expect.
Note that #||...||# comments out code for LISP but lets Zwei do
sectionization and indentation (and region finding).  The 'misuse' of
#|| ... ||#  for this purpose was carefully considered before
documenting its behavior and benefits.
