Err... no, first there was no change between 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 related to the
ssl_expr_scan.l stuff, so it cannot be that Flex likes the one from 2.6.5 and
not the one from 2.6.6. Second, independent whether flex likes or dislikes
the file, flex should never be called for end-users. If it is run by the
Makefile, your timestamps are garbled. Start from scratch and especially make
sure that the ssl_expr_scan.c file has a newer timestamp than the
ssl_expr_scan.l file (do a "touch ssl_expr_scan.c" if you want to make sure!).
