I did try it with \hyphenpenalty 10000 and it didn't work. But I
came up with a sneaky solution. I changed \lefthyphenmin to 5.
That cleaned up this particular TOC.  If necessary I can change
it to 10.

Why adjusting \pretolerance doesn't work I don't know. Perhaps if
I make pretolerance very large and tolerance very small it might
work. In any case I have a solution.
