Re: [Comp-hist-devel] Re: Troubles with the C parser

[Kurt R. <ku...@ra...>]

I agree that the primary solution is to fix the fields that don't work, and then go back and fix whatver is causing the parser to coredump.  However, with the exception of the date fields, a lot of the errors that were flagged run fine on other parsers, so it may be a matter of both cleaning up the code a bit and loosening up the parser's strictness.
