According to http://invisible-island.net/byacc/CHANGES.html , the
2014-10-06 has a fix
to address my concerns.  However, this fix involves a lot of changes to the
code,
and I don't have time right now to audit everything.

There have been a lot of changes to the byacc code in the past few days.
The changes
are good bugfixes, but I would recommend auditing everything beore
importing the snapshot into FreeBSD.
