Description

The underlying AS parser (FlexPMD) can't get out of a statement such as

 public class MDIWindow extends Panel  /*implements Slot, Slot0*/
 {
 ...
 }

It looks like the AS3Parser.parseClass method reads the comment as a single token following the class declaration then strains to look for the left curly bracket in it, ending in an infinite loop. It doesn't cause any StackOverflowError as it's a slow loop inside the method.
