Me too. The ecpg.trailer code was just copied from the old preproc.y so I guess
this bug has been in before we moved to the new automatic build. Could we get
one of the buildfarm members to upgrade to bison 2.4? Even if we now compile
through cleanly on that one test system, I'd rather have a regular build using
this new version.
