There were five messages in my mailbox (and I get a decent amount of
mail) between the post by Mike Long detailing the fix, and my two
posts which you referenced.  Please try a little harder next time.

Here's his post again FYI...

Use initscan.c to bootstrap flex if you run into problems:

cd /usr/src/usr.bin/lex
cp initscan.c scan.c
make && make install
rm scan.c
make && make install

That should do it.
