Description
Create a project and install:
bsb -init commentbug -theme react
cd commentbug
npm install
Edit file Component1.re on line 20 to read as follows, with the comment’s opening / immediately following the >:
<div onClick=(self.handle(handleClick))>/* comment */
Now compile with bsb -make-world:
File "/home/username/commentbug/src/Component1.re", line 20, characters 43-44:
Error: 3764: <syntax error>
Go back to Component1.re and add a space after the closing >, and re-compile -- everything works great.

Research direction
Reproduce the syntax error using the bsb -init commentbug -theme react and bsb -make-world commands, with the example in src/Component1.re. Start by tracing how the compiler handles a JSX closing > followed immediately by a comment; done means the comment form compiles without requiring a leading space.
