It seems that the lex.yy.c that is generated by other versions of flex
(non-patched, I'd assume) cause the parsing errors. What happens is that
when lex.yy.c is generated by a different version of flex ie:
2.5.31/2.5.4 vanilla or whatever. It causes the bug above (grin). I'd
delve into this deeper but i'm 2 days into this and want to move on. 

lex.yy.c isn't significantly different but it is different enough to
cause the respective error.

Hope this helps someone.
