Warning 528: _assertstring (line 17, file assert.h) not referenced

I get these errors when running the Microsoft C include (.h) files
through Gimpel PC-Lint version 3.2.  The last one, number 528, is
probably unimportant, but the first two (602) seem serious.  I looked at
the header files in question, and the previous line has no closing
comment delimiter where one would expect it.

Is this a bug?  Should I modify my header files to include the closing
comment delimeter, so that DBL_MIN_EXP and LDBL_MIN_EXP will be properly
defined?
