Incidentally a user of our compiler reported a bug the other day
that I traced down to exactly this problem, just when I read your
mail. I was already going make a reproducable test case, now I don't
have to. :-)

I can report that your patch (applied to Bison 2.0) fixes this
problem. So thanks for this ultra-quick fix. (-; This mail is very
late in comparison, as I was busy with other things meanwhile.)
