Changes (by simonpj):

 * cc: doaitse at cs.ruu.nl (added)
  * milestone:  6.8 branch => 6.10 branch

Comment:

 It's clear we aren't going to get this fixed in 6.8.  There's actually an
 interesting research question here, about how to build parsers that are
 both modular and efficient.

 Please would someone like to help with this?

 (I've added Doaitse to the cc list; hope that's ok.)

 Simon
