Hello,

I have just found a bug in ocamlyacc which makes it loop
forever while eating up memory. The following short file
demonstrates this:

file: foo.mly

%type < int
> t

The intention was to split up somewhat longer declarations
over several lines for readability. Obviously, ocamlyacc
cannot handle multi-line type declarations.

A workaround is to declare the type separately elsewhere
and then refer to the corresponding name in the type
declaration for the parser entry point.

Best regards,
Markus Mottl
