I'd been using the GNU bison to build PERL, and when I applied this latest
patch set I got an error when GCC tried to compile perl.c.  The error
said something about a null character and referenced line 901 (which doesn't
exist either physically or through #line directives!).  So I changed to using
yacc.  Yacc wants MORE than -Sm10000, so I upped it and then the whole thing
started building nicely.

Anyone got any ideas why the problem with using bison?
