Thanks for the pointer. Turns out this was resolved without my input in
bison-1.875a.

It is a test release, but the changes seem to be entirely bug fixes. Would
you consider upgrading the Cygwin package to this version? If not, would you
consider taking just the data/yacc.c file from bison-1.875a and releasing a
Cygwin bison-1.875-2?

Max.
