'/*' comments are quite messy actually.. Try this

/*
if (cond)
{
*/

	blah1;

/*
}
*/

blah2;

Notice the relative indentation between blah1 and blah2. You can even  
fold the if-block!! Actually no surprises here because that's the way  
TextMate's one-line-at-a-time parser works. It just can't find more  
information.

I've got issues with this because, there are several areas in the  
code I work where c-code is commented. That just upsets everything.

For now, thanks to you and James, I am using a combination of astyle  
and gnu-indent to format my code after every block I write to get  
indentation right. But I still can't stop those commented if-blocks  
from folding :)

Ps: Well it's a good thing I am realizing the limitations of TextMate  
early in my migration-phase from Emacs. I thought TextMate would be  
the final frontier but I guess not or not yet ;)
