Could be, yes. I've: bison (GNU Bison) 1.75, flex version 2.5.4
Anyway, applied - thanks.

Great; thanks. Not surprisingly, it now works for me on SuSE 9.1 after
doing "cvs update", using the versions of imcc/imcparser.h,
imcc/imclexer.c, and imcc/imcparser.c you put into CVS.
So then I tried rebuilding these files on a SuSE 9.0 machine with
flex-2.5.4a-195 and bison-1.75-109, and found that it fails the exact
same way. That certainly makes it look like SuSE broke something prior
to 9.0.
If someone would like to try to unravel what is going on for the sake
of submitting a bug report, I'd be happy to supply the broken versions
of these files off-list. As for myself, I have lost my appetite for the
chase. At least now I know that I'm not going nuts (at least not in
that particular way), which is a relief. And I've also learned that
I'll need to install flex and/or bison from tarball if I want to use
these machines to hack on IMCC syntax in the future . . .
