Heh.  It's been long enough now (3 months) that I don't quite remember.
Prior to this little program, the last time I used bison was maybe 10
years before that, so I am by no means a bison expert.  There may not
be a good reason, it may be just the way I tried to do it based on
some examples I found in an O'Reilly book or somewhere else.

The real code that we ran into this with (rather than the simplified
example I sent you -- not that the two are all that different) -- is
here: http://git.kernel.dk/?p=fio.git;a=tree;f=exp;hb=HEAD

Your question still stands though, and I don't really have a good
answer.  I vaguely suspect that there may be a reason, but I don't
recall what it might have been, and it might only be my brain playing
tricks on me.
