Created attachment 258168 [details]
A program to reproduce the segfault

The C file to reproduce the segfault is attached. 

The line that triggers the fault (as it seems) is:

/**<!--***************************************************************-->

if one replaces that with

/** <!--***************************************************************-->

the problem goes away.


System info:

Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-10-26 13:24:58 UTC 
Confirmed, the /**< is interpreted as "a comment that is placed after the item", rather than a /** ... */ comment with a <!-- ... --> block inside.
Should be fixed in the next GIT update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-12-24 18:59:24 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.6. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information 
that you think can be relevant (preferrably in the form of a self-contained example).
