If I preprocess this file:
#include <kerberosIV/krb.h>
#include <com_err.h>
#include <krb5.h>
NEAR
The last line of the preprocessor output contains "NEAR". If,
however, I swap <com_err.h> and <krb.h>, the last line of the
preprocessor output is (correctly) blank.
All of the preprocessor stuff in the various header files is so hairy
and disgusting that I had to spend quite a while just figuring out
this problem. I assume there's someone at MIT who came up with the
idea of putting the same stuff in N different header files and who
understands how it's all supposed to work; that person will probably
be able to fix this problem far more quickly than I can, so I leave it
to him to come up with a patch.
