The comment above the code patch in the new patch file says:
"This is a Hail Mary situation. It seems to work."
It doesn't reliably on NetBSD-5 or -current; namely, it makes flex
spit out a "Broken pipe" when presented with an input file on stdin.

Finding the problem area and suggesting a workaround kudos mlelstv.
There are better ways to fix it properly, which will be employed
in Due Time.

Also add malloc.c as required by configure.
Reported in SF.net bug # 1899047

version 2.5.35 released 2008-02-26
* fixed bug that prevented flex from accepting certain comments in the
  scanner file (resolves bugs #1849809 and #1849805)
* fix bug that prevented headers for all functions from being generated
  (resolves bug #1628314)
* change yy_size_t to be size_t (resolves bug #1849812)
* new de, nl, pl, pt_br, vi translations from the translation project

- add a patch from debian that fixes a parser bug
- do a "two stage" bootstrap: build flex, then regenerate the scanner and
  rebuild flex.
- This should fix PR pkg/38084
- bump PKGREVISION.

Add GNU realloc.c, needed because of AC_FUNC_REALLOC.
Will file a bug upstream.

* parse multiple short concatenated options

* Expose YY_BUF_SIZE in the header file.
* better escape of filenames with special characters
* memory leaks were plugged
* support case-insensitive patterns
* POSIX character classes may be negated in patterns

Updated flex to 2.5.33.

Changes since 2.5.4a (10 years ago) are too many to be listed here.

Define CONFIGURE_HAS_MANDIR=NO since this old GNU_CONFIGURE
configure script doesn't know --mandir.

Also because of this, add patch to fix where installs manpage.

Add RMD160 digests.

use `basename ${MAKE}...` in configure to avoid bad substitution
error.

from mlh at goathill dot org in PR pkg/22920.

Move to sha1 digests, and/or add distfile sizes.

+ move the distfile digest/checksum value from files/md5 to distinfo
+ move the patch digest/checksum values from files/patch-sum to distinfo
