You should try that script on itself :-)
The "/*" in the first 'offset' line, and the "*/" in the second 'offset' 
line are (incorrectly) recognized as a block comment, with fairly 
disastrous results. I suspect that proper recognition of block comments 
isn't as easy as it might seem - need to handle all forms of string 
delimiter, which themselves may be inside comments.
