[out, out damned line!]

I have recently been engaged in implementing a yacc grammar based
on the one provided in Harbison and Steele's _C: A Reference Manual_ and
have encountered a bug. On page 337 the following productions have been
provided:

<key_dcltr> ::= <identifier>
...
<0008> ::= <key_dcltr>
<0008> ::= <key_dcltr> , <key_dcltr>
...

Neither <key_dcltr> nor <0008> are otherwise referenced in the grammar.

If anyone has solved this bug, or if it has been fixed in subsequent
editions, could they please post it to the net?

Thanks,
