Have you noticed that you often get the debugger trying to step to a
line in bison.simple that is in fact in parse.y, and complaining about
a line out range?
This happens to me very frequently; I have no idea what causes it. I
have a sneaking suspicion that this GCC bug is what the original post
was about, though I'm not sure.
