The customer is having problems when their "*.l" files are in dos format. Flex is taking the lines from the file and adding them into the lex.yy.c file untouched.

Good I thought since the version of flex we provide is not the latest. I'll just recompile. >> >>But when I tried that with the latest flex (2.5.4a-3) I get the same behavior that the customer is seeing.
