Exactly. scanner.l doesn't understand '\'r' in line-endings. I tried to modify
scanner.l to say "[ \r\n\t] ;" instead of "[ \n\t] ;", but that didn't work. So
I modified read_infile() to strip all CR and LF from buffer and now it works.

PS. There should IMHO be a more detailed error when parser fails. A line +
column position perhaps? I'm no flex expert, but might contribute a patch.

Something to do with _fmode or fstat() returning wrong size for DOS/Win
files perhaps. IMHO, would be better to use filelength() under Win32.
