Frank send to me the testsuitelog. Inspecting it shows that bison always dies
with a SIGSEGV. The traceback is from the testsuite.log. Using bfdsymify
I get the following traceback:

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV

The above traceback is typical for all test failures.
The aparently offending code from file subpipe.c is:

415  int argc;
416
417  for (argc = 0; arguments[argc]; argc++)
418    free (arguments[argc]);
419  free (arguments);

The above code is invoked every time the m4 program is invoked to produce the 
parser file.
The surprising fact it that this code fails sometimes and sometimes not.
May be I am missing something here.

I have installed djdev204.zip from /beta/v2 and configured and compiled the 
package from scratch.
On a Win98SE system the testsuite passes without any difficulty no matter if I 
use djdev204 or djdev203.
Today I will try to download all needed packages compiled with djdev204 from 
clio and make a fresh
djgpp installation to configure and compile the bison package and see what 
happens.

Juan
