I can't reproduce this problem with my copy of Bison 1.875 (built on
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r1 x86).  141 means bison got a SIGPIPE, which
most likely means that your Bison isn't invoking GNU m4 correctly.

Did you configure your Bison to use GNU m4 instead of HP-UX m4?
Did you run "make check" before installing Bison?

While we're on the subject, I suggest using GNU m4 with the patches
contained here:
