Excuse me I missed your point and gave wrong reply.
Yes I found the command does supply a wrong ERROR message
(by some reason you didn't point this out).
So I found
for macro

h.C:
{ printf(" Hello, Wordl!!!\n");}

root 2.21/08 gives:

root [2] .x h.C
Error: No symbol h() in current scope FILE: LINE:0
*** Interpreter error recovered ***
NULL

I believe there is no Windows specific here and this bug should be present
for any UNIX machine as well.
Since I have no 2.21.08 on my UNIX I would loike people on list try this
to confirm.
With my best regards,
Valery
