I spent an awful lot of time tracking your issue, which is:

%code top
{
    #define YYDEBUG 1
    [...]
}

This is dead wrong.  You are *compiling* the parser with YYDEBUG
set, but to the rest of the application you expose a Parser class
*without* YYDEBUG.  So you have to different sizes for the same
class in a one program, of course that does not work (does ODR
ring a bell?).

No wonder that %define parse.trace "fixes" your problem, since it
defines *properly* YYDEBUG.


Bottom line: stop messing with macros.
