This looks like it's because the parser scanner was generated with an ancient version of flex in the distribution tarball and it isn't regenerated at build time. It's not anything to do with the actual 'source' in this case, it's hitting a limit of the generated flex scanner. Could you try this again after regenerating that with recent flex? Ron
