This is easily preproduced with expr.y from djgpp libc cvs.

Symify points to getargs.c, line 217 (copied by hand):

	case 'd':
	  /* Here, the -d and --defines ... */
	  defines_flag = 1;
	  spec_defines_file = AS_FILE_NAME (optarg); /* Line 217. */
	  break;

optarg is NULL here.

This is from bison 1.32. It looks like that I have bison 1.28
installed on this machine that runs plain DOZE, if it might matter.


Right,
