    Ken Gant - 2002-04-15

    I installed the files from bison-1.35-1-bin.zip in my usual collection of directories, which has been fine for several other GnuWin32 distributions.  When I try to run it with more than one (and sometimes with just one) option, it pops up an Application Error alert: "The instruction at [blah blah hex address] referenced memory at [blah blah other hex address]. The memory could not be "read".

    Works:
      bison myfile.y
      bison -ptec myfile.y
      bison -d myfile.y
    Doesn't work:
      bison --defines --name-prefix=my myfile.y
      bison --name-prefix=my myfile.y
      bison -d -pmy myfile.y

    And then sometimes, the ones that "work" won't work any more, as if running bison is leaving a persistent bad condition somewhere.  And it seems to be a really persistent condition, because if I close the command window and open up a new one, I get similar results.

    Help?

      On Windows-98 all your examples work fine. Could you post a small bison file that shows the behaviour you describe?
