Visit xdisp.c.  Run the following function.  It breaks:

(defun test-break-0 ()
  (interactive)
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (or (forward-comment 2)
      (error "(forward-comment 2) failed"))
  (or (forward-comment -2)
      (error "(forward-comment -2) failed"))
  (message "(forward-comment -2) succeeded"))
