It looks like it is Sun's yacc's fault. It mallocs space for the parse
stack at the top of yyparse, and frees it when YYACCEPT or YYABORT is
called. Unfortunately, longjmp defeats that strategy. Sun's ansi yacc
mallocs once and saves the pointer in global. Berkeley yacc statically
allocates things. Bison uses all sorts of techniques, but it seems to
work ok.
