Bruno,

	The  *_*#  in depfile.cut is for words that end with '#' character only. In languages like Hebrew prefixes can be separate from the stem word and they are marked with '#' sign at the end. For example prefixes like "ha#" and "ba#". If you have '#' character in the middle or the beginning of the the word, then CHECK will complain.

Leonid.
