Hi,
	This may well verge on FAQ-like issues, but a quick search didn't find it.

	I've been investigating a possible bug in bison, and talking with the folk 
on the bison-bug mail-list.

	Fairly reasonably, their first request was that I build their latest 
version and see if the bug still occurs.  An they gave me a version 
numbered 1.875c (the current cygwin version is 1.975b, so they are pretty 
similar).

	1.875c behaves nicely to a ./configure and make but it then crashes 
immediately when I give it my input script.

	I was wondering whether I should have expected that, or whether packages 
generally get patched when converted to cygwin?  I ask because I seem re 
recall some posts on this list a few months ago, which were about how much 
<something> needed patching, every time new sources where brought over from 
GNU?

	So, are any special actions required when getting source from other places 
than via the cygwin setup program?

	Ian B
