Thanks, but one key step was missing there.  After you start
running the program, you should give it the following input:

s VARIABLE_1 t v x q

It might be easier if you do it this way:

cd tests
echo 's VARIABLE_1 t v x q' >/tmp/myfile
./testsuite -v -d 121
  [This test should fail.]
gdb testsuite.dir/121/glr-regr2a
  [GDB should output some innocuous startup messages.]
(gdb) b yyerror
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048733: file glr-regr2a.y, line 83.
(gdb) r </tmp/myfile
Starting program: ....
Variable: 'VARIABLE_1'
Breakpoint 1, 0x08048733 in yyerror (s=0x804ace8 "syntax error")
   at glr-regr2a.y:83
(gdb) where

It is the output of that last "where" command that will help us figure
out what went wrong.


One other thing; can you please try the test with Bison 2.0 instead?
You should configure it to use m4 1.4.2.  Here are the URLs:
