lex error during cfengine make

[Levine, Eric J]

Hello All,

I'm seeing the following lex error when I try to compile cfengine v2.0.8
or v2.0.8p1 with make.  The src/cflex.l file is 500 lines long, yet lex
is complaining about line 501.  The same error occurs whether I run on
Solaris 2.6 or 8.  I'm using Sun's version of make, /usr/ccs/bin/make,
not the GNU version.  Has anyone else seen this?

/bin/bash ../ylwrap `test -f 'cflex.l' || echo './'`cflex.l lex.yy.c
cflex.c -- lex  
got /usr2/elevine/sysadmin/cfengine/cfengine-2\.0\.8p1/src/
"/usr2/elevine/sysadmin/cfengine/cfengine-2.0.8p1/src/cflex.l":line 501:
