If you take a look at t/t4018/README, the way to mark t4018 tests as "known failures"
is to insert "broken" somewhere in the file. Since I'm fixing the regex in this commit to be able 
to cope with the situation in t/t4018/fortran-comment-keyword, I'm unmarking this test as broken.

Cheers,

Philippe.
