And apparently my report never left this machine, for reasons unknown.

I tested grammar.235 against several different yaccs:  SunOS yacc (basically
AT&T), SCO Unix yacc (AT&T), Berkeley yacc (AT&T-free), GNU Bison 1.24,
and Abraxas PCYACC (a commercial MS-DOS clone).  All created conflict-free
parsers with no problems.

Right.  I'm not sure what the ancestry of the yacc used by {la paulos.} is,
but it may have trouble handling such a large and complicated input, with
its 1077 lookahead sets.
