I'm trying to use the Bison parser-generator distributed on FISH 136 (?).
It runs correctly on the example (calc.y) provided in the 
distribution. 
However, I wrote a simple definition of a language
(Copper assembly if you want to know). It's quite simple, having
about 5 rules, but I'm using %type and %token a lot.
I always get the message: bison:memory exhausted,
though I'm running in a configuration with 700k+ of FAST free memory,
not too much fragmented.
I don't have a 9600 bps terminal handy so I couldn't use SNOOP to check
if Bison asks for huge chunks of memory.

Could somebody give be a hint ?
Thanx.

PS concerning SNOOP: I'm not sure, but I believe SNOOP does not use
Preferences settings on the serial port. Is there any version that does ?
