If you are confident that these errors can be fixed by altering the
grammar, I'll do some more looking to see what I can come up with. This
is probably going to take me a little while though.
Based on what I was seeing, I thought this was more a problem with how
flex generated the scanner from the grammar.

This should have been set to feedback, shouldn't it?

Hi
You should change the grammar in zend_language_scanner.l instead of the
.c file which is generated based on the contains from the .l file. Else
the patch looks good

Here is some useful debug information if you wish to trace exactly where
the IPRs are happening:

Description:
------------
When running PHP through Purify, I am seeing Invalid Pointer Read (IPR)
errors such as the following:
IPR: Invalid pointer read:
* This is occurring while in thread 8075:
lex_scan [zend_language_scanner.c:3174]
zendlex [zend_compile.c:4950]
zendparse [zend_language_parser.c:3280]
compile_file [zend_language_scanner.l:343]
rnt_compile_file [rnt_opcode_cache.c:1008]
compile_filename [zend_language_scanner.l:386]
* Reading 1 byte from 0xf735f332 between the heap and the stack.
It appears that script files are memory mapped and then a cursor pointer
is used to iterate over the mapped memory. The problem is that the
cursor pointer is not properly checked when reaching the end of the file
and memory values are read that are not part of the mapped memory. I
manually fixed one case of this (see attached diff). However, there are
others.
It looks like this file is generated (using flex?) so this is probably
not actually a PHP issue. However, I thought I would start here. Let me
know if this needs to be submitted to somebody else.
