Some versions of the Bourne shell don't allow the '#' character as a comment.
The version included with 2.8 and 2.9 don't. There have been fixes posted
to net.bugs.2bsd about this, but I don't know what the fix is off hand.
However, you can use the ':' character as a comment in these versions of the
Bourne shell.
