Microport's yacc was compiled with tiny table sizes, sizes appropriate
for a 64K machine.  Complain to Microsoft, and in the meantime, have a
friend or UUCP neighbor run the file through yacc on their machine and send
you the C output; you can proceed from there.  All Microsoft needs to do
to fix the problem is to change the values of certain constants and send
you a new binary; if they get enough complaints, maybe they will do this
in their next release if they haven't already.
