Since there is no bug-bison that I know of, I am posting this information
on this list.

I have a file which causes bison on VMS to crash when it is compiled with
the /optimize option (the default) of the VMS C compiler.  Bison does not
crash when compiled with /nooptimize, but it sure is SLOW.

So...

    1.  If you use bison on VMS, it is probably safest to compile with
	/nooptimize.

    2.  Is there someone who would like a copy of this file?  It is pretty
	large (almost 15K bytes when all comments and semantic actions are
	removed) so I don't think it's advisable to send it to everyone on
	this list.

I started to trace down the error, but did not get very far.  It looks like
some pointer has gone wild and scribbled on the stack.  It might be a
compiler bug, but I don't know for sure.  If someone is interested in
tracking down the problem, I will send them the file and the little bit of
information I acquired with the VMS debugger.
