CC Mode 5.31.3 (C++/lah); Fill misbehaviour in comment

[William M. <Wil...@ph...>]

Entering a comment into a file header, emacs behaves as if the fill-column is
set to something small (instead of 78 actual).  The header looks like this:

/*==========================================================================
 Alpha-numeric Text 
 ================================

 Project         Alpha-numeric Text
 Module          BOOTLCDACT
 Language        ANSI "C"
 Target CPU      Alpha-numeric Text

 =====================================================================

 File lcdact.h
 Declaration of LCDACT main function

 ============================================================================*/


If I add text to the line marked '<---' (these chars are not in actual
buffer), the text wraps when a space is entered.  If I put the cursor between
the words "Added action" and enter a space, the space is inserted and the
cursor moves on to the 'c' of "action" (ie I end up with "Added  action" as
expected, but the cursor has moved).
