I can't duplicate the problem on my development system, but this looks 
like another Bison problem.

I prefer to develop TC using a special version (1.9.3) of Berkeley's 
YACC, which allows for large grammars, such as COBOL.

Until I find a fix for this problem, I would suggest using Berkeley's 
YACC version 1.9.3 (1).
Just configure TC with the 'with-yacc' option.

Example:
./configure --with-yacc=yacc193

You can get the source, and a MinGW binary, of this version of 
Berkeley's YACC (1) on the TC download area at SF.

Hope this helps.
