Sorry, I can't debug this without more-detailed information.  You have
sent me some details before, but I couldn't quite follow them and/or
reproduce the problem.  Perhaps you can try again.  It's important to
have a complete, self-contained test case that illustrates the
problem.

Unfortunately, there is no external specification for how Bison
behaves internally.  The only specification is the Bison source code
itself.  So if you want to proceed in this way, you'll have to look
at the source code.

If you haven't already upgraded, please use:

http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~eggert/bison/bison-2.0b.tar.gz

I've asked the GNU FTP upload gurus to copy it to here, but it's not
there yet:

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.0b.tar.gz

Here is the MD5 checksum:
