I have come across another bug in cpp. It is in the code that eats comments.
I have tried to lint several files and had lint complain about an 'unknown
character (043)'. This is a '#', i believe. The problem has to do with
overlapping the end of the buffer. I would get a '*/#' on the line that
lint did not like. I have a fix for this, i am not sure that i have fixed
the problem, or just cured this symptom, but it has fixed my problem. The
code does a 'putchar' or some such without checking to see if anything should
be printed first.
If someone would forward this to the appropriate people, i would appreciate
it greatly.

ps. This happens mainly on BIG files such as the tty driver.
