scheme mode marginal comment delimiters on 8-colour ttys

[trentbuck]

On eight-colour ttys, comment bodies are not coloured; only the
comment delimiters are.  In Scheme mode, one writes something like

    ;;; commentary on next block
    ;; commentary on next line
    form                        ; commentary on current line

The semicolons of the first two lines are red, but the single semi on
the third line is not red.  C-u M-x what cursor position RET shows
that it is (incorrectly?) fontified with font-lock-comment-face,
whereas the other semis are fontified with
font-lock-comment-delimiter-face.

This symptom appears with the -Q switch.

Thanks; I believe I have fixed this.
