>Description:
Using gcc 3.3.3 20031103 (prerelease)
repro on 3.3 and 3.2.2, not tested below

When compiling a file longer than 12288 bytes, the preprocessor stops in a segmentation fault.

Not reproduceable on other ports of gcc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a file, test.cpp, that contains exactly 12288 characters. That can be anything parseable, I opt for a long commented block
 > cpp test.cpp
-- this works
Add one character to the file
 > cpp test.cpp
[..] internal compiler error, Segmentation fault
