SETUP 2.194.2.25 Major(?) Problem in chooser with new setup.ini with md5sums


After getting rid of the crash by downloading setup 2.194.2.25 I noticed
that new/uninstalled packages did not show up in the chooser (with Skip status)
when downloading from a site which uses the md5sums in setup.ini.
Using a site with a setup.ini without md5sums is OK with 2.194.2.25.

Looking a bit further to what changed between 2.194.2.24 and 2.194.2.25
I believe iniparse.y (2.25.2.1) is the culprit.
Chris has added a rule in simple_line for both
'INSTALL STRING STRING STRING' and 'SOURCE STRING STRING STRING'.
However there is no action defined for these new rules.
Hence any line in setup which has a md5sum is completely ignored,
instead of only the last token (the md5sum).
Solution (if my knowledge about bison is correct):
Copy the action from 'INSTALL STRING STRING' to 'INSTALL STRING STRING STRING'
The same for the equivalent SOURCE case.

If I am correct, could Chris or Robert please update setup.exe on cygwin.com
asap.

Thanks in advance.
