No: I removed the .ini parser and regenerated it with Bison 1.875a.
It worked fine for me.  I did not use the patch described in
<http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22215>.

I just got the latest CVS php5 (using
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/repository co -AP php5
) and it worked for me, using Bison 1.875a..

It is a bit of a pain for me to build PHP.  I have to install
nonstandard versions of Autoconf, libxml2, and flex.  ("Nonstandard"
meaning that not standard for a Debian testing distribution.)  Quite
possibly my build environment differs from yours, and that would
explain the problem.

I'm afraid that we'll have to ask someone who can reproduce the bug to
get to the bottom of this.  Until then, I'm not convinced that it is a
bug in Bison; quite possibly it is a bug somewhere else.
