Version: 0.9.3
Synopsis: bonobo-activation has bogus interaction with bison
Bugzilla-Product: bonobo
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
Some versions of oaf had this problem as well, and it has been fixed
there.

The file activation-context-query-parser.y has the line:
#define YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA

The define YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA was _undocumented_ in a couple of versions
of bison.  When it did become documented, they changed the semantics for
it.

The bison documentatione explicitly states:
`YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA'
     Macro used to control the use of `alloca'. If defined to `0', the
     parser will not use `alloca' but `malloc' when trying to grow its
     internal stacks. Do _not_ define `YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA' to anything
     else.

So, the best thing to do is simply remove the define.
