Just noticed this a few minutes ago on build from cvs tip:
make -C preproc all
make[4]: Entering directory `/opt/src/pgsql/src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc'
bison -y -d preproc.y
conflicts: 2 reduce/reduce

Yeah, the ECPG grammar has been broken for awhile. I'm expecting
Michael to do something about it sooner or later ...

It's not just the grammar. Last time I tried to compile OSDB to get some
benchmarking done, ecpg segfaulted on it (before having any reduce
conflict). I tried to do some investigation, but my knowledge was too
limited and couldn't even generate a decent bug report.

Didn't notice this before. Fix was quite easy, but I also did sync
ecpg's parser with the backend one and now I cannot compile it anymore.
Haven't found time to dig into this. So be careful, current CVS WILL NOT
COMPILE!

This is what happens:

preproc.y:5330: fatal error: maximum table size (32767) exceeded

I never before saw that and didn't find it in the docs with a quick
grep. Maybe someone knows this. Else I will check in more detail.

But at least you could send me a mail telling me something fails. :-)

I won't debug this if I don't know it fails.

If you're not going to fix it right away, would you mind reverting the
commit?

Sorry, I just found this mail, no idea where it stuck since sunday.
Don't worry, it's already fixed.

Also I'm in contact with some bison developers.
