when run through `cc -E <file>'.  What I want it to produce is, of course,
not `mn', but `partoneparttwo'.

How can I make it do this?  (this is cpp 2.7.2.1 on 2.2-961006-SNAP)


As it is right now, what seems to happen is that `m' and `n' don't get
expanded in the 2nd pass because they are no longer separated by a space.

However, I have read the section of the GNU info manual on macro
expansion and concatanation and it sounds very somewhat like this is a bug
in cpp.


Thanks rendered in advance.
