VIM syntax summary: disable folding multiline comments

Question

I use the foldmethod "syntax" in vim 7.3. In .vimrc:

set foldmethod=syntax

When I open Test.cpp containing:

/* A function with a multi-line
 * comment. This takes at least
 * four lines and I want to be
 * able to read all of them.
 */
void TheFunction()
{
  DoStuff();
}

When folding, I see the following:

+--  5 lines: A function with a multi-line---------------------------------------------
void TheFunction() 
+--  3 lines: {------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like the folding of the function body, but not the folding of the comment. I want to disable it so that it looks like this:

/* A function with a multi-line
 * comment. This takes at least
 * four lines and I want to be
 * able to read all of them.
 */
void TheFunction() 
+--  3 lines: {------------------------------------------------------------------------

How should I do it? I can see the syntax group related to: syn list cComment

cComment       xxx matchgroup=cCommentStart start=+/\*+ end=+\*/+  extend fold contains
=@cCommentGroup,cCommentStartError,cSpaceError,@Spell
                   links to Comment

But the tool around for an hour with vim and google documentation did not tell me how to remove the "fold" attribute from this group.

'foldmethod' "syntax", /* */ comments { } blocks . , , :

:let c_no_comment_fold = 1
