how to avoid buggy comments?

If the parser stumbles on a comment that look like this:

<!-**--**->

it will treat everything thereafter as a comment and continue to look for
a --> (at least it seems like that)

Shouldn't the parser completly avoid a tag like this since it's not a
proper comment? 

Anyone got a solution how to treat this?
