I'm getting a "Debug assertion failed" error in Visual Studio in the loop in lines 79 and 80. Note: I had to change the code in line 42 from "Contributor.h" to "contributor.h" to match the filename.

It looks to me like these comments on lines 78 and 86 are a problem. I deleted them and the program ran. Some type of unseen stray character or something that makes the compiler not realize when the comment is over?

[mitrmkar]

The ending backslash works as a continuation character, turning the following line into a comment too.
