Executing a statement like: 
/*! SET variable=value; */ 
causes the mysql command line client to believe that the 
command was not completed and causes the next query to 
fail. 
 
Moving the semi-colon outside of the quote solves the 
problem, but completely defeats the intent of the 
executable comment. :) 
 
Inserting a second semi-colon is a temporary work-around.

Fixed.
