The only major difference in the CVS is that the CVS automatically uses the
Borland configuration for Sun's preprocessor.  Can you do a small test for
me?  What is the preprocessed result of this:

#define A(x, y) (x, y)
#define B(args) A args

B(xyz) // ??

This is the essence of the Borland bug.  It *should* yield:

A xyz

Borland, however, yields:

Axyz

I'm just curious if this is the specific problem with Sun's preprocessor as
well.

Thanks,
