 If you user HTML-Comments to hide JavaScript for browsers that do not
 support JavaScript, the closing HTML-Comment-Tag have to be a JavaScript-
 Comment

 So instead of this Code:
 <script type="text/javascript">
 <!--
 [some JavaScript]
 -->
 </script>
 You should use
 <script type="text/javascript">
 <!--
 [some JavaScript]
 // -->
 </script>
 Otherwise some Browsers will fail because of invalid JavaScript.
 This is also descriped on w3schools
 (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_comment.asp)

 This error can be found in:
 wp-includes/file.php on line 980
 wp-includes/media.php on line 2075
