Yes!

Actually most of your questions and comments in this thread
suggest that you missed the start of the story:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2001-02/msg00561.html

Please stop reproaching this to me, or grep my submission for
`YACC' before.  We don't care who did that, all we want is to
get it fixed; you did a great job in debugging that test case,
but writing sentences like `another lame error in the few lines
of the damned test' simply doesn't help.  I know of nobody who
is happy to discover he has introduced a bug, you don't need
qualify it with rude words.

Thanks for the cleanup anyway, that's the most important.
