Which was fixed in 5.05, although it never caused a system crash on
my Amiga, just a snapshot.  5.05 refused to compile the file, but
didn't crash;  in 5.10 you can set the preprocessor buffer size
high enough to handle any macro, as long as you have the memory
for it.

BTW, try using lc1b instead of lc1 to compile your 30-line macro;
lc1b in 5.04 had a preprocessor buffer of 8k rather than 4k in lc1,
and it will very likely handle your macro.
