Subject: gcc hangs on certain input files
Index: c-parse.y

Description:
	gcc (actually cc1) hangs in an infinte loop when given certain
	input files.  This is true for at least the versions 1.32 and 1.33
	of gcc.  Since it is in the machine independent part, it happens
	on all systems (well, at least all unix systems).

	Script started on Tue Feb 21 14:49:54 1989
	% echo '#pragma' >bug.c
	% gcc -c -v bug.c
	gcc version 1.33

	GNU C version 1.33 (Alliant) compiled by GNU C version 1.33.
	bug.c:1: undefined or invalid # directive

	After the error message, the compiler hangs.  Type an interrupt
	(^C in my case) to stop the compiler.
Fix:
	Apply the following diff.  This is a context diff against
	the 1.33 sources.  The 1.32 sources have to fixed similarly.
	You may also want to apply the diff to c-parse.tab.c.  The
	line numbers will vary in that case.  Be warned however,
	I don't know enough about gcc internals to know whether
	this does any harm.  I have no idea why the result of getc
	was compared to 0 in stead of EOF.  It just seemed wrong
	to me.
