and likewise in segscan.c.  lapwing is using flex 2.5.35, so probably
this is the same bug worked around in parser/scan.l:

Ok, we can fix that, but maybe this is also a good moment to think about whether that is useful. I could not reproduce the issue with flex 2.5.39. I could find no download of flex 2.5.35. The github site only offers back to 2.5.39, the sourceforce site back to 2.5.36. lapwing says it's Debian 7.0, which went out of support in 2016 and out of super-duper-extended support in 2020. It also doesn't have a supported OpenSSL version anymore, and IIRC, it has a weird old compiler that occasionally gives bogus warnings. I think it's time to stop supporting this.
