Actually, I'm surprised it's working under linux too.
The problem is the generic parsing code interprets the '!' as an operator
for the expression following the .word directive -- we never get the chance
to interpret it as a line separator.
In fact, the PA assembly language itself is ambiguous in numerous ways due
to HP's use of '!' as a line separator, as an fcmp completer and GAS's use
as an operator.
In the end it's not *that* important of a test -- it's just something I
noticed 10 years ago :-)
