Hi John,

We did have such an error in the past, in the development versions of Bison,
but, AFAICT, we never released a tarball with this problem.  In particular,
in Bison 2.6.5, po/hr.po, I read:

    80  #: src/conflicts.c:621
    81  #, c-format
    82  msgid "expected %d reduce/reduce conflict"
    83  msgid_plural "expected %d reduce/reduce conflicts"
    84  msgstr[0] "očekujem %d reduciraj/reduciraj konflikt"
    85  msgstr[1] "očekujem %d reduciraj/reduciraj konflikta"
    86  msgstr[2] "očekujem %d reduciraj/reduciraj konflikata"

so everything seems fine.  runtime-po/hr.po has 65 lines only.

Besides, I don't understand why the PO file is about to be compiled
on your side, provided that the GMO file is part of the tarball.

Can you provide us with more details on how you built Bison?

Thanks in advance.
