problems with hint @pause in the assembler

[Arun Sharma]

The assembler (2.13.90.0.18 20030206) seems to have problems dealing
with the instruction

(qp)     hint @pause

$ cat foo.s
.text
        .type _start,@function
_start:
(p7)    hint @pause
$ as foo.s
foo.s: Assembler messages:
foo.s:4: Error: Unknown opcode address@hidden'
foo.s:4: Error: qualifying predicate not followed by instruction

However, if I use

        hint    @pause          # without a qualifying predicate

or

(qp)    hint    0

things are ok.
