(I'm not a native speaker, so I'll try again.)

I've created a grammar (file) that contains about 100 productions and for sure 
has some ambiguities in it. When I start Grammatica in order to create a 
parser for this grammar, it will not finish within several hours. After 24 
hours, I interrupted it.

Now, I wondered, whether there is a good way to debug my grammar without 
waiting so long. Maybe Grammatica could output some sort of progress 
information, e.g. the name of the currently processed production and the 
current value of k. This would it make easier (for me) to find and review the 
problematic parts of the grammar.
