>Description:
When using yacc on either platform, a specific grammer results in
the fatal error "maximum table size exceeded". However, according
ORA's book on Yacc, this usually indicates a bug in the yacc program.
In this case, the grammer only has:
             340 terminals, 200 nonterminals
             615 grammar rules, 920 states
Which is actually significantly less non-terminals, rules and states
than it had when the problem first showed up. I am using bison (1.28)
as countercheck and it works fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Anything the yacc program is run with the current language grammar.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to isolate the grammar change that caused
the initial overflow, and developement has had to proceed since then.
If absolutely necessary, I can make the grammar that causes the problem
available under an NDA for testing purposes.
