I get these errors when the input is non-ASCII, not only from Bison, but
also my C/C++ compiler. Particularly nasty is an <ption-spacebar> which
produces a long non-ASCII space, which cannot be detected visually in a
mono-space font.

But I do not know what happened in your case -- too few details.
