Oh, I see.  Bison is not fixing users' semantic actions anymore.  If I can 
find time, I'll try to track down why this changed.  Maybe someone else 
can figure it out first because I don't have time now.

Not necessary.  The above is what we needed to know.

They do.  They are located at:

  http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/

and they are usually announced on the same mailing lists as the full 
releases.  In case I wasn't clear before, it would not be so helpful to 
try 2.3a and 2.3b now that 2.4 is out.  But maybe there will be another 
test release before 2.5.

Thanks for the report.
