The PKGBUILD for thrift (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33213) contains this line:
pkgdesc="Scalable cross-language services framework for IPC/RPC between C++, Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, C#, Haskell, Erlang, etc."

In the web interface, the description is shown as
"Scalable cross-language services framework for IPC/RPC between C++, Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, C

It appears the PKGBUILD parser is interpreting the # inside the quotes as the start of a comment.

This is kinda a dupe of  FS#17482  and  FS#17328 . I propsed a fix somewhere in the comments there but I'm not sure whether we're gonna push that at all.
