From looking at the compiler's source code, the most probable cause
would be for some line of the C source being compiled that starts
with '#' to contain a byte with its high bit set, due to unconditional
use by ccom of isdigit(), which in the BSD environment that /lib/ccom
was compiled under cannot properly handle bytes with high bit set.
