It's Bison 2.3, installed from the Ubuntu repositories.  The manual page 
appears to be for Bison 2.4.1. 

it appears then that 2.3 is an older version than 2.3b.So, to put it in other 
words, it appears I need to upgrade bison. Darn it.

Weird. That's exactly what I wished for. I don't know if I should be glad that 
my wishes have been met or if I should kick myself for not opening my eyes 
while RTFM. 

Nonetheless, thanks for the help. Kudos!
