Indeed.

Gerard, could you try the following -- which I just now have
added to lisp/essl-sta.el :

  (cond
   ;; XEmacs 19, 20, 21
   ((memq '8-bit c-emacs-features)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?/  ". 1456" STA-syntax-table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?*  ". 23"   STA-syntax-table))
   ;; Emacs 19, 20, 21
   ((memq '1-bit c-emacs-features)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?/  ". 124b" STA-syntax-table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?*  ". 23"   STA-syntax-table))
   ;; incompatible
   (t (error "CC Mode is incompatible with this version of Emacs"))
   )
  (modify-syntax-entry ?\n "> b"  STA-syntax-table)
  ;; Give CR the same syntax as newline, for selective-display
  (modify-syntax-entry ?\^m "> b" STA-syntax-table)

----

If you (or anyone else) can confirm that this enables the "//"
for comments in stata-mode,
this will be in the upcoming 5.2.9 version of ESS.
