I thought so and it really helps -- but only after a 'make clean', which
I didn't do the last time when I tried it. Does anyone know why it needs
the 'make clean' although the error is in the bison file?
Now I have to figure out why it is different. What version of bison do
you have? Can you sent me your bison.simple or the full diff?
