No return from parse when parsing a partial comment content

           Summary: No return from parse when parsing a partial comment
                    content
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.0.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: SAX
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: george@sync.ro


Trying to parse a comment that ends with "-" followed by the end of file cause 
the parser to freeze. It never returns from the parse method. See below a 
sample code to reproduce this.


import java.io.StringReader;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;

public class BugXerces {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      SAXParser parser = new SAXParser();
      String pref = "<!-- \n test -";
      try {
        InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new StringReader(pref));
        System.out.println("Parsing: " + pref);
        parser.parse(inputSource);

      } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
      }
      // Does not reach this line !!!!!
      System.out.println("Parsing ended..");
  }
}
