Hello. I'm trying to switch from GCC/NASM to the good old Plan 9 tools
to get a simple kernel I'm writing compiled and working with 9load
(which fortunately is Multiboot-compliant). But there is one file - an
8a-ized hand-me-down interrupt service routine array - that is causing
problems. Running

	8a /n/sources/contrib/pietro/jamesmol.s

yields the errors in /n/sources/contrib/pietro/jamesmol.out. But if I
first preprocess with cpp(1), which produces /n/sources/contrib/pietro/
jamesmol.fixed, everything works fine with 8a. What's wrong?

PS - This is when I hate macros.
