Re: newbie

[Laurence Finston]

This subject came up recently.

If I saw this in a parser, I would suspect that it was malicious code.

It's not just too big, there is no reason for it.  If any symbol in a 
parser really needed to refer to a string of this size, it should probably 
be referring to a file instead.

By the way, it would probably be a good idea for you to choose more 
descriptive subjects.  The subject "newbie" made me think this was spam 
and I very nearly deleted it.  "[help-bison]" is not added automatically.
