ran into problems with rebuild lex. i dont know much about it, so i'm
looking for clues...this first is from a "current" with april3 binaries
+ what i could recompile.

fnord# make
lex -is8 -p scan.l
*** Signal 11

This is using a pre off_t system:

root# make
lex -is8 -p scan.l
"scan.l", line 90: '^' operator results in sub-optimal performance
"scan.l", line 513: bad start condition name
"scan.l", line 513: bad start condition list
*** Error code 1

Stop.

This is using SunOS:

1:37pm blackjack:~/tmp> flex  -is8 -p scan.l 
"scan.l", line 90: '^' operator results in sub-optimal performance
"scan.l", line 513: bad start condition name
"scan.l", line 513: bad start condition list

the problem seems to be that it cant be bootstrapped from the old one.
i got a fresh 2.4.6 and built it on the sun and used it make lex.yy.c.

if anyone wants lex.yy.c let me know
