Try running 'make' in 'Grammar/' first. None of my patches that touch
Grammar include the changes to graminit.h and graminit.c, because they can
be quite lengthy (in the order of several thousand lines, in this case, if
I'm not mistaken.) So the same goes for the 'indexing for', 'range literal'
and 'augmented assignment' patches ;)

If it still goes crashy crashy after you re-make the grammar, I'll, well,
I'll, I'll make Baldrick eat one of his own dirty socks ;)
