Ah, I have reproduced the bug.  There is a bug in the cpp (C preprocessor) on
Red Hat 7.0.  I am investigating to see what can be done about working around
it.  It looks like the problem is that it is just truncating long lines.

If  you  take  line  4622  of  the  generated C code, which is a mere 322,579
characters long and run just it  through  cpp,  you  get  the  first  155,607
characters of that line (the remaining characters having been pitched).
