Only a very vague idea: default rule being matched in a scanner that uses
several different start conditions --- this could mean that the start
condition isn't always initialized to INITIAL reliably when a new file
gets started. Particularly since that scanner doesn't issue a single
forced BEGIN(some_state), but rather relies entirely on yy_push_state()
and yy_pop_state() for start condition changes.
