The bison port has never used popen() and pclose(). The reason for
the bison failure was that I allocated an string using strlen() without
adding one byte more for the terminating '\0'. Later when this string
was free()ed with djdev204 the program crashed. But free() of djdev203
never complained abuot this so I never noticed this bug.
I have tested stock bison-1.875 and the test bison-1.875d with djdev203 and
cvs sources of djdev204 running the testsuite with gdb. No test breaks the testsuite
nor is skipped. Now everything seems to be fixed.
