bug#16971: 24.3.50; comment-beginning behaves differently in current newcomment.el, leads to error in comment-indent-new-line

[Frank Ruben]

Hi Glenn,

I manually changed my emacs lisp sources, so I can't reproduce it now with emacs -Q.
Anyway in *scratch* buffer, it was like (where '|' marks cursor position):

1) With current newcomment.el (December 2013):

    (foo ; bar |baz

     M-j =>

    (foo ; bar
    baz

2) With previous newcomment.el (March 2013):

    (foo ; bar |baz

     M-j =>

    (foo ; bar
         ; baz

Hope that helps and thanks for taking care,

    Frank

Thanks for the report, but please give us a complete example starting
from `emacs -Q' that shows exactly what the issue is.
