Hi!

Please note that the current release is 3.6.4.

No :)

AFAICT, all your failures look like:

Next token is token '-' (1.1: )
Shifting token '-' (1.1: )
Entering state 16
Stack now 0

 line 2180: 15289 Alarm clock             $PREPARSER ./calc input

415. calc.at:1077: 415. Calculator parse.trace  (calc.at:1077): FAILED

i.e., the machine seems super slow when it comes to large output,
and our timeout mechanism is fired.



I see nothing weird about Bison itself here, it appears safe to me.
But something is fishy about that machine.


You also have a very large number of skipped tests, including

 416: calc.at:1079       Calculator %defines 

Please run this:

make check-local TESTSUITEFLAGS='416 -d'

and send us tests/testsuite.dir/416/testsuite.log.  Thanks!
