To verify whether I just forgot to reinitialize the mode, I just
restarted my XEmacs and retried filling my test comment. The result is
the same, it doesn't look like it should. My cc-mode initialization
file is attached to this email, maybe this help identifying the
problem (although I don't believe as the problem is there with a (setq
c-comment-prefix-regexp ...) only as well).

I tried this as well, but it gives me a mysterious 'Invalid regexp:
"Invalid preceding regular expression"'.
