  Thanks Sekure for pointing out the problem. Thanks Steve Sturges for

* Threshold memcap argument now correctly handles non-integer input.
  Thanks nnposter for the patch.

Well, fixes for these two (I'm just guessing) broke the way the comments are handled in threshold/suppress configs. I'm used to put a short comment after threshold/suppress command in threshold.conf. That way I know why I've put it there. E.g.

suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 3003, track by_src, ip x.y.z.w # hostname (MBSA/AV scans)

snort-2.3.0 now barfs on me because of the slash (/) in comment. If I change it to dash (-), then it parses the command without errors.

  Am I not supposed to put comments this way or is this a small bug?
