I don't understand this part.  The result is the expected one, a
nonunifying example.  So the timeout was fired.  Just was just
not printed.  I don't understand how this can happen.

This part does not make sense to me either.  It behaves as is it
did not find a unifying example (it printed "First" and "Second",
instead of just "Example" once), yet it's the same example.  Also,
it started from $accept instead of just `a`.


Would you agree to try to same test with the current git version
of Bison?  It's available here:

https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/private/bison/bison-3.7.4.254-a0905.tar.gz
https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/private/bison/bison-3.7.4.254-a0905.tar.lz
https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/private/bison/bison-3.7.4.254-a0905.tar.xz

There is no known issue in this tarball, it's just as good as a release,
except that it includes unfinished new features.

Build it, and check it.  Test 263 in 3.7.4 is test 271 in this tarball.
Once 271 failed, please run:

./src/bison -Tcex -Wcex ./tests/testsuite.dir/271/input.y >/tmp/271.log 2>&1

Compress and please send /tmp/271.log.  It is probably very long,
instead of sending it, maybe you can leave it somewhere on the
Internet.

Thanks in advance!
