>Description:
/usr/bin/cpp does not match the semantics of the cpp described in 
the man pages.  /usr/bin/cpp is a front-end that tries to match 
the semantics of an old CPP---it treats each file as an input
stream, it inserts '-traditional' and '-nostdinc'.  /usr/libexec/cpp
is what /usr/bin/cpp should be.
>How-To-Repeat:
cpp foo.c bar
Should create bar from foo.c, but instead writes foo.c + bar to stdout

>Fix:
mv -f /usr/libexec/cpp /usr/bin/cpp
