Bug Description

Binary package hint: flex

Debian has a new version to be merged.

flex (2.5.35-6) unstable; urgency=high

  * [f0d7848]: Finish fixing the ia64 buffer issue. Previous commits
    increased YY_READ_BUF_SIZE (where __ia64__ is defined) but left
    YY_BUF_SIZE unchanged, so that didn't fix the problem in the end. In
    the general case, the latter is twice the former. Therefore set it to
    the same ratio in the ia64 case. Thanks to Cyril Brulebois
    <email address hidden> for the heavy lifting.
    Bug fix: "flex scanner push-back overflow", thanks to Sergei Golovan.
                                                         (Closes: #505056)
