Bug#4232: bison dumps core

[Thomas Koenig]

Package: bison
Version: A2.6-12

The following input file (which contains errors, I know :-) causes
bison to dump core.

I have no idea wether this is a libc or a bison error.  Gdb tells me
the following:

$ gdb /usr/bin/bison core

Core was generated by `bison crash.y'.

#0  0x4003c567 in malloc ()

Here's the input file (called crash.y):
