Comment (by kencu):

 this still-not-fully-understood problem has nothing to do with bison, so
 nothing the bison maintainer would have done would make the slightest bit
 difference. Nor the python.

 and the fact that it built for you on your G4 is also not unexpected, as
 it is recognized to be an intermittent problem, not showing up on every
 system, as per #62994. But when it does show up on a given system, it
 seems to be there forever, and the only way past it is to patch.

 some kind of race? perhaps. Never seen it on anything > Leopard. We may
 never really sort it out.

 So Pete, patch yours, as you did, and move along. If enough people add a
 "me too" to this ticket, it will get patched, like I did m4.
