I just tried it out...Here are my conditions and results:

Under Win95 Dos box:
 
 made new file with out extention
 typed in 
 /* This is a test /* <enter>
 Went to newline with out problems

 made file with .cc extention
 typed in
 /* This is a test /* <enter>
 went to newline with out problems

 made file with .c extention
 typed in
 /* This is a test /*
 went to newline with out problems

This was under RHIDE 1.4 and the latest DJGPP.

Maybe a bug in your copy? Run a virus scanner, see if that turns
anything up...if you need a good one, try www.avp.com
