Well it took some doing...I downloaded Service Pack 5 (130 Mbytes, once you
find it) for C++ 6.0.

It shows the same symptoms.

It's probably way easier to get a patch into bison.simple than to (just)
have
Microsoft fix the standard C++ header files.

Probably there's the same problem with bison.hairy (just at a guess) but
I've never used that.

Now that I've tried that (using the %semantic_parser line in the .y file) I
can
say there's nothing to worry about, because bison just dumps core if you use
it.
