Problem with lightbrite in Lucid 19.4

I'm having a bit of trouble getting comments to highlight in c-mode under
Lucid Emacs 19.4. Everything else works fine, comments are highlighted 
in lisp etc. I had a dig around in the lightbrite syntax-decode and c-mode
lisp code, but I'm not too well versed in lisp and couldn't see a solution.

I tried setting syndecode-comment-start-regexp's value to "/*" and "*/"
for end-regexp  explicitly in a c-mode-hook. But once in c-mode, the value
of both these variables is nil.

Beyond that, I don't have any idea about the workings of syntax tables so
I'm stuck.

Any help would be appreciated, since what I would like highlighted more than
anything else is comments.

Donald.
