I don't mean to make a public example of Bruce, but I hope that posting
this once will deter future boneheads.. I'll be brief:

First it was Cindy, then (perhaps encouraged by her example) you!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not send 85K CPP dumps to the entire
gnu.gcc.bug list! We're just not interested in reading it, much
less paying twenty bucks to ship it across the Atlantic! (by which
time it's too late, of course). Cull the relevant portion of the
code you think is broken, then send it to the list. Better yet,
if you feel a great need to send the entire raw (not even
blank-compressed, geez) cpp output to someone, send it to RMS. He
can then flame you back much more cheaply..

Only great restraint prevents me from using stronger language here.
Please do not do this again.
