Subject: Re: [ANN] Syck 0.08 -- Next-generation of YAML.rb

syck doesn't build out of the box under FreeBSD-4.7 with its standard byacc.
I applied your new gram.y first. Compilation stops at:

byacc -d -d -t -v gram.y && mv y.tab.c gram.c
byacc: e - line 11 of "gram.y", syntax error
%pure-parser
^
*** Error code 1

If I comment this line out, it builds without further errors. But 'make
check' then fails:

$ make check
Making check in lib
Making check in tests
make  check-TESTS
....

OK (4 tests)

PASS: test-basic
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
FAIL: test-parse
===================
1 of 2 tests failed

*** Error code 1

Here's the backtrace from the core dump:
