No errors for grammar.28. I didn't check John's recent >change proposal, but I don't think it addresses this problem. >Is it a known problem? Could someone check it with his/hers local >yacc version/clone? Mine tells the following (-V option): I don't know that shift/reduce conflicts qualify as a "problem." They're an ambiguity in the grammar, but yacc (and presumably lojban) generates an unambiguous parse in these cases by resolving in favor of shifting instead of reducing (I think). So I don't know if this is something that needs to be "fixed," more just understood. Or am I missing something? ~mark
