Sorry, I'm lost here (and had similar problems with the original
report posted on c.o.m.d., that's why I didn't respond).  What
``symbol'' are we talking about here?  And what makefile is involved
here--can I see it?

Also, the original report wasn't talking about 2000 characters, but
about a much smaller limit, 128 characters, and I'm not sure how these
two are related (see below).
