acid pid

bpset(strcmp)
loop 1,20 do { cont(); print("strcmp '", *(*strcmp:s1\s), "' '",
*(*strcmp:s2\s), "'\n"); }
bpdel(strcmp)

also

bpset(klook)
cont();
# wait a while, see if you hit the breakpoint, probably not
DEL (to stop acid if it didn't hit the breakpoint)
bpdel(klook)

if you do hit the klook breakpoint then try
the same sequence but with yyparse instead
of klook.

the goal is to find some function that isn't being
repeatedly called.  that helps narrow down the
source of the infinite loop to code inside that
function or the ones it calls.
