Autoformat crashes

Community Suggestions for the Arduino Project

This Arduino sketch in the attachment compiles fine, but when I try to auto format it, Arduino hangs for a minute and then throws following exception logging:

Interesting. I changed the C style comment:

/*State machine that takes care of the random color changes
 */

to

/* State machine that takes care of the random color changes
 */

and auto-format worked.
