A quick reminder of what the problem is. In C mode (NOT C++ mode):
(i) Type M-q in a pair of short line comments like this
// Two short
// lines.
The command ought to join them into a single line comment. Instead, it
does nothing;
(ii) Type M-q in a line comment which is longer than fill-column:
// A long line comment, which is far far far longer than a moderately or very
small fill-column.
This miss-fills by splitting the line, but putting no comment marker on
the new second line:.
// A long line comment, which is far far far longer than a moderately or
very small fill-column.
These bugs are regressions between Emacs 21.4 and 22.1.

Both these bugs seem to be caused by a strange clause in
`fill-paragraph', where what should be the fill-prefix ("// ") is made
a component of `paragraph-start'. Thus (ii) every line in the comment
sequence is automatically made into its own paragraph; and (i) when
splitting lines, fill-paragraph doesn't insert the fill-prefix when this
is also a paragraph starter.
Here is the strange code:
;; Try to prevent code sections and comment sections from being
;; filled together.
(when (and fill-paragraph-handle-comment comment-start-skip)
(setq paragraph-start
(concat paragraph-start "\\|[ \t]*\\(?:"
comment-start-skip "\\)")))
In C Mode, `comment-start-skip' is "\\(//+\\|/\\*+\\)\\s *".
The two bugs vanish when the above code is removed.
Stefan, can you remember why you put this code in (revision 86672 of
2008-04-11)? Is there perhaps a way of achieving the same effect
without making the fill-prefix match `paragraph-start'?
