As far as I could determine, that bug is the one you fixed shortly after
2.1-release:

----------------------------
compile.c revision 2.198
date: 2001/04/27 02:29:40;  author: jhylton;  state: Exp;  lines: +20 -6
Fix 2.1 nested scopes crash reported by Evan Simpson

The new test case demonstrates the bug.  Be more careful in
symtable_resolve_free() to add a var to cells or frees only if it
won't be added under some other rule.

XXX Add new assertion that will catch this bug.
-----------------------------

I couldn't reproduce his bugreport using 2.2/2.1.1-with-this-fix, but I
could with 2.1-final, so I mentioned that, marked it fixed and closed it.
