Check out either "Crafting A Compiler", or the newer "Crafting A Compiler
With C", both by Fischer & LeBlanc for good discussions of error recovery
in both LL and LR parsers.  Alas, I know of no Yacc compatible parser
generator using any of the methods discussed.

Disclaimer: I did the C code for "Crafting A Compiler With C".
