Snapshot 980308 bug report...

[Christopher Curtis <ccurtis at aet-usa dot com>]

Hi, I'm not subscribed to the list, so please email me directly for any
additional information.

Using EGCS snapshot on RedHat 4.2 Linux for DEC Alpha, it crashes during
the compilation of MySQL 3.21.25-gamma in the file sql/sql_yacc.cc

Initially it ran out of memory (32MB real, 256MB swap) so I increased the
about of swap to over 600MB, yet it still crashes.  There appears to be
some sort of loop that allocated memory and doesn't quite detect when it's
supposed to leave.  It prints the following to stderr:

/my/gnu/lib/bison/bison.simple: In function `int yyparse()':
/my/gnu/lib/bison/bison.simple:692: Internal compiler error.
/my/gnu/lib/bison/bison.simple:692: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@cygnus.com'.
make[2]: *** [sql_yacc.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Immediately preceeding this, the following was printed to stdout:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ccurtis/dev/mysql-3.21.25-gamma/merge'
Making all in sql
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ccurtis/dev/mysql-3.21.25-gamma/sql'
