Short answer: use
http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/setup-20020510.exe.

Long answer: The new MD5 rule + the number of packages which increased
recently caused a yacc parsing failure. This has been corrected in CVS
for the pre-release version and for HEAD.

As I've seen no bug reports on the UPX support, I've started compressing
setup with UPX as a matter of routine.

Please, try the setup linked above, and if you have any errors let me
know. AFAICT though, it should be ready for widespread use now.

I'm not planning on updating the current setup, as 
1) It was about to be obsoleted anyway and
2) Users will still have the stack failure/crash anyway, so they will
have to update manually regardless.
