Re: A few bugs on Bison 2.0 on prtetty old Sun OS 4.1.4

[Peter Klein]

Hallo folks,

encloses I send you a small bug, I discovered with bison 2.0
on SUN OS 4.1.4.
I tried to send this already two month ago, but due to a
problem in my mailconfiguration it was returned!

I would highly appreceate a fix.
Alternatively you may stop SUN OS 4.1.4 support, which would be
a terrible bad solution for me!

Kind regards from Germany
