That's nice to read!  Have a nice recovery.

It is certainly not I/O that make the difference: there is the exact
same amount of yylex calls in every case.  So can it be a memory
allocation issue?  I fail to see how it can be: the stack are
certainly very similar, there is no deep recursion added etc.
I have no clue.  And I don't know how to find out.

You definitely need to sign legal papers for Bison itself, those of
GDB won't do.  Nevertheless I doubt we need to have finish this step
to include your skeleton in the CVS repository.  Paul, am I right?
