Description Nicolas Rachinsky 2006-03-05 08:50:05 UTC 
shells/bash uses bison-1.75_2,1 if it's installed, and generates a
broken parser, which does not handle 'for' loops without 'in'
correctly (and that breaks many configure scripts).

see:

How-To-Repeat: 
Install devel/bison and then shells/bash. Execute the following script
with some parameters.

t.sh:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

echo X "$@"

for i
do
echo A $i
done
EOF
