No solid clue Willard.  With 9 or 10k of stack for storing variables & 
tokens, I would expect it to be able to handle 4-8 times that in src code.  
I gave me zero problems when I was building rzsz-3.36 several times a day 
testing ideas, and the merged files to build either rz or sz are in the 36k 
range.  I suppose one could just have it (cc) stop at the end of the 
c.prep19 stage and see how big the c.prep output file actually is if we 
wanted to argue about sizes.  FWIW, the original c.prep starts throwing 
away data at about the 12k mark.  That is what I clued in on to make my 
reply.
