But, since you have already read EOF in the scanner, and you have not
returned from it, yylex will try to get a new character to continue
parsing. But EOF has already appaered, so there's nothing in the buffer
anymore. I think it's normal that you get an error on this. You either
have to unput(EOF), or to 'return' from the scanner after the
'printf("error\n");"....
