bison version

Hi,

I'd like to check 2 things:

What's the bison version required to compile gram.y ?
Trying to set up a build farm machine, it seems I can't compile with bison
2.1 ...

2.1 should work fine - there are a number of boxes on the buildfarm
running with that version (like sponge the FC5/ppc I own).
What exact problem do you see on your platform ?

Also where is the documentation page that gives postgresql limits (number
of column/table max size of col....)

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ.html#item4.4

The fact that bison dumps core after emitting all those bogus
messages suggests to me that you've got a broken copy of bison.

Yep!
I reverted to 1.875 and it works, I'll be a member of build farm soon for
UnixWare.
