Hi Dennis,

Thanks for this bug report.

That's not a problem.  The test is actually checking whether it can use it or 
not.  Hence the "checking for diff --strip-trailing-cr...".

However, this is bad.

Actually I guess that only the tests from the examples were run, and not the 
main test suite.  So I guest if you run `make check-tests`, you'll get many 
many failures.

If I'm not mistaken the fourth test of mfcalc is:

a = 256
sqrt (a)

I doubt that the problem is in the parser itself, I venture it's sqrt that does 
not work properly.  Let's try these inputs please:

echo 'a = 256' | ./examples/c/mfcalc/mfcalc

{ echo 'a = 256'; echo 'a+a'; } | ./examples/c/mfcalc/mfcalc

echo 'sqrt(256)' | ./examples/c/mfcalc/mfcalc

I expect the last one to fail.  If it does, please compile (with the same flags 
as the one used by Bison) and run this C program:

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (void)
{
 printf ("%f\n", sqrt (256.0));
}

If it does crash, then please try to see what needs to be done for it to work 
properly.

Gee...

Could you please replace examples/c/glr/c++-types/c++-types.test with the 
attached version, and run `make check-examples` again?  It should help us see 
which test case failed, and start tracking the failure.

Cheers!
