assertion failure

[Eric Hanchrow]

make version 3.78.1

My Makefile contains exactly three characters -- a backslash, a space, and a
colon.

Typing `make' yields this:

        make: read.c:892: read_makefile: Assertion `*p2 != '\0'' failed.
        Aborted (core dumped)

For what it's worth, I do not see this behavior with 3.79.1 (it says
"Nothing to be done for ` '")
