>From a shell prompt:

emacs -q /tmp/tmp.c
M-x auto-fill-mode
/*
* 

(That's / * <return> * SPC).

When typing the final space, the second line gets deleted.  Pressing
return instead messes it up differently.  This seems to be a problem
with c-mask-paragraph.

After space:
- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/*
- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


After return:
- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/
**
- --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
