Yacc token numbers over 1000 a bug?

Well certainly token numbers over 1000 will prevent yacc from working right
and yacc should probably warn you about them, but REALLY, what do you want.
Yacc has a number of wired in restrictions about the size of the grammar and
such.  I hardly think requiring you to use less than 1000 tokens or else
revise the yacc sources is a big restriction.

Not surprised yacc has not been modified to remove this 'bug'
