I recently attempted to run patch.xml against a tree including a file which
included the following comment line in a comment block to a method:

     *                           <code>${</code> without a closing

Patch.xml bombed as follows:

BUILD FAILED
/usr/local/src/apache/apache_src/ant/patch.xml:53: Syntax error in property: > 
    *                           <code>${</code> without a closing
