This change fixed the problem for me.

It also made this age-old compiler warning go away:

In file included from gram.y:14515:
scan.c: In function 'yy_try_NUL_trans':
scan.c:10307: warning: unused variable 'yyg'

I guess by redirecting it into the log file you indicated, but is that a
good idea to redirect stderr?
