The depfile.cut

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Adda,
     I added one of these symbols to a test file and ran CHECK on it  
with no problem.  It is very difficult to know what is going on on  
your machine.  Perhaps you have a space in the wrong place.  Perhaps  
you have an old version of CLAN.  Perhaps something else is  
happening.  You  can either just try on another machine or else send  
me a copy of your file and I can see whether there is something wrong  
with one of the characters.
    Simply adding characters to the depfile.cut is not a good  
approach, although I can understand that you may want to do this  
temporarily while fixing old files.
