SUBJECT: The eternal question: Why is this ANTLR grammar ambiguous?? 

[I have posted this to the pccts newsgroup; and on the antlr
forum on jguru - I'm sorry if this is "against the rules", 
but thos two forums seem to have quite low answer rates, and
I have found this mailing list only now] 

I have already written a few ANTLR lexers and parsers (for 
productive systems, with sometimes weird grammars) - but the

following puzzles me: Why does the following simple grammar 
create an ambiguous warning?:
