No, I don't.  The ^Z wasn't being parsed out as being part of a "text"
file (bug) and being passed to cpp, which couldn't handle it.  The new
version (soon) is much better at handling text files.

To remove the ^Z via symdeb:

C> symdeb file.txt
<gunk>
-r cx cx-1
-w
<more gunk>
-q

For debug, you'll have to do the "r cx cx-1" by hand via "r", "r cx", and
exter the right value.
