Well, it turns out that I'm working on a FreeBSD 4.1 machine now, and
using the 4.0 binaries that I released earlier.  There was a new version
of binutils, and so the 4.0 IB6 binaries couldn't load the 4.1 shared
library.

I recompiled IB on FreeBSD 4.1 and all is well again.  I ran into that
dsql/parse.c problem again, and resolved it the same way I did last
time---delete the parse.c that my yacc generated and get the original one
back from the CVS server.  Since parse.c is then newer than anything else,
it's not regenerated, and everything works.

So I think this has to be attributed to different versions of yacc.  I bet
you Linux folks are using GNU Bison or something that I'm not.  Also,
check out the target for parse.c in dsql/makefile:

parse.c:        parse.y parse.sed
       $(YACC) -l $(YFLAGS) $<
# replace the above line with the following three for FLINTSTONE
#       awk -f parse.awk FLINTSTONE=1 < $< > tmp.$<
#       $(YACC) -l $(YFLAGS) tmp.$<
#       -$(RM) tmp.$<
        sed -f parse.sed y.tab.c > $@
        -$(RM) y.tab.c

Isn't FLINTSTONE used to indicate a production version of the binaries?
