Yacc accepts the following input, bison complains about
an unterminated string.

-----
%{
static char copyright[] = "Copyright....\
     continued copyright\n";
%}
%%
foo: /* empty */
     | foo '+'
;
%%

 > % bison  bb.y 
 > "bb.y", line 2: unterminated string

I have the same bison-1.01 that is on prep.ai.mit.edu today.
