bug#24355: 25.1; Block name sometimes not commented out in conf-mode

bug#24355: 25.1; Block name sometimes not commented out in conf-mode

[Alex]

Recipe:

1. emacs -Q
2. Enter new buffer
3. Type the following:
#name { block }

#name { block
#}

4. M-x conf-mode

The first line has 'name' commented out correctly while line
3 still has 'name' (and the beginning #) in the 'font-lock-type-face'.

This also happens in conf-mode types other than Unix which use different
comment characters (such as Xdefaults and Windows).

(I'm going through older Emacs bug reports that have received no
response.)

This has now been fixed in the Emacs trunk, I think.
