fast but imperfect dependency generation

I set "Tools | Compiler | Makefile generation | use
fast but imperfect dependency generation" to true.
When compiling my project "make.exe" complains:
make.exe: *** No rule to make target pp', needed by../source/array/MdSimpleSubarrayParameterImpl.o'. Stop.
I checked the "Makefile.win" and found the invalid
dependency "pp" at two places. It was inserted as the
second dependency.
../source/PdSphericalGaussianParameter.o:
../source/PdSphericalGaussianParameter.cpp pp ...

The bux is unchecked so it does not use the "fast but
imperfect dependency generatioin" but the "slow and perfect
one" :)

I also came across the exactly same error - this happened as
the project grew. I do not know whether it was the amount of
files (currently holding approx. 200 files) or the length of
the file names.
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the original (working)
behaviour and then extract a possible reason for this error.
For now, I have makefile generation disabled at all and use
my custom one, which at least lets me compile and build my
stuff ;)
