 Sounds suspicously like the parser gave you (mirabile dictu!) A PARSE.  What 
did you expect after all?  
Admittedly they are not easy things to read at first, but they grow on you 
and they are awfully informative.  To be sure, they could be printed better 
and a translation -- even a crude one -- would be nice.  But it is advertised 
as a parser and it does that (and remeber, nothing else does it officially 
correctly).
