FreeBSD 2.2-GAMMA
>Description:
FreeBSD 2.2 uses flex V 2.5.3.  2.5.4 fixes a couple bugs in 2.5.3
PostgreSQL V 6.0 doesn't work properly when compiled using flex V2.5.3
and gives a the error "...unexpected last match in input()"
FreeBSD 3.0-current seems to use flex V 2.5.4 already.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile postgreSQL V 6.0 using flex 2.5.3. "pg_dump <dbname>"
>Fix:
Upgrade to flex V 2.5.4 in FreeBSD 2.2
