Hi!

Another followup to my own mail, as I now have additional
information.

Comparing the differences between those systems I found
that on the installations with a working cyrus-imapd I
used bison-1.34 to compile the package (e.g. translate
the sieve.y file) whereas with the newer cyrus-imapd-2.2.12
I also used the newer bison-2.1 to compile the package

I just tried to compile timsieved from cyrus-imapd-2.2.12
without re-creating sieve.c and sieve.h from sieve.y (by
touching sieve.c and sieve.h before running make) and
this gave me a timsieved binary which actually accepts
my small testing sieve script without complaints!

So it currently looks like the reason for the problems I
see is an incompatibility between sieve.y and the newer
bison!

For now I think I can live with this workaround (touch
the sieve.[ch] files provided by the cyrus-imapd source
package) but I guess someone has to look at the sieve.y
file to see what this incompatibility might be (or perhaps
it's even a bug in bison?)

Any comments?
