bison puts too many tokens in the semantic value

[Richard Garand]

I have a rule in a bison file(name:   '"' NAME '"', where name is
alphanumeric characters), but when I try to use $2 (when NAME="abc") it
gives me abc". Why does it add the " at the end, even if it's another token?
I have another rules, package_info: package_open name pkdoc;, and when name
is "abc" (semantic value: abc) and pkdoc is 'documentation "def"\n'
(semantic value: def), it says $2 is 'abc" documentation "def"\n". Why does
it go to the end of the line in one token? Are the token numbers just
pointers into the input string? they should be null-terminated copies of the
input.
