ok!

I was probably testing with newer versions of nyacc.  The versions I
currently have in Debian are 1.00.2 (built with guile 2.2) in unstable,
and 1.03.0 (built with guile 3.0, i think) in experimental.

I doubt anything else depends on nyacc in Debian, so I have flexibility
with when and how to update nyacc at least. :)
