I agree Kjell.  Not only do the comments look normal but the generated 
files ('error.cc' and 'error.h') compile without any problems.  It's the 
previous stage of generating them which seems to be going wrong.  All 
tolled I have a list of around 125 x ccg/hg pairs which I process.  If I 
just take that one pair out of the list, everything builds normally 
again (except that ultimately, 'error.cc' ends up as a missing file, of 
course!)

Sadly, I need to take my sister for a hospital appointment this 
afternoon so it'll be tomorrow before I can take a good look at that 
patch.  It looks like only 2 files were affected though - so I might try 
reverting them temporarily and see if that changes anything. Thanks 
Kjell and Murray for your help with this.
