I agree that this change should be part of any ``portable yacc'' code (if such a thing exists), but can't see why the change is necessary in the FreeBSD tree. I don't object to the extent that I think it should be backed out, this just shouldn't make a precedent IMHO. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
