You did try running "bison -d -y expr.y", didn't you. As my post
pointed out it's a NULL pointer dereference while analysing the "-d"
option. So you must use "-d" and plain DOZE.

I also tried "bison -y expr.y" and was rewarded an exciting different
crash, so there's some problem there too.

: Please check the timestamp of some of the products:
: bison.exe (2002-01-30 02:03:10)
: bison.info (2002-01-30 20:14:58)

I haven't checked and can't right now, but I seriously doubt I have
the wrong versions as I update my mirror weekly.

: Anyway, I would seriously suggest to deinstall the existing bison
: on your installation and to install a fresh downloaded one.

Yes. I'll do that when I have time.


Right,
