[OS X TeX] A split happens

[Iraj Kalantari]

Friends,

This is a question from a TeX user 101.

I wish to create a special symbol through a macro, and since I am  
ignorant of how to make meta fonts, I use

\newcommand\subsetc{\subset  \!\!\!\!\! \circ\thinspace\thinspace}

(This is to create a symbol for 'is a subset of with special further  
properties'.)

This macro works for me well except for when it happens to be about  
the end of the line.  In that case, it splits  (I get \subset in one  
line and \circ on the next) and I do not have the desired result.

Is this a bug or it is because I am brut-forcing and getting my just  
desert.

Thank you.

Iraj.
