Bison 1.25 is truly ancient at this point (ca. 1995), so it may be
difficult to get advice on this, but I do observe that

    32768 == -32768 mod 2**16   (typical size of short)

which is almost certainly the cause of the anomaly you see.  Perhaps
you should take this opportunity to upgrade your version of Bison?
