Compiling the following code segment (no compiler options):

	#if 0
	   This is a test of an if
	   This line isn't going to work
	   But this line will, as will the first line
	#endif

with GCC 2.3.3 under Linux 0.99pl3 (i486), SunOs 4.1.1 (Sparc), and
Ultrix 4.2 (DEC 5000) yields an the error:

	a.c:3: unterminated character constant

The problem is the single quote.  It also happens if you use an #ifdef,
but doesn't happen if you put the text inside a comment.
