     The things to fix are to add a couple of zeroes to:
     
     #define JAMSTATE -32766 /* marks a reference to the state that always jams */
     #define MAXIMUM_MNS 31999
     #define BAD_SUBSCRIPT -32767
     #define MAX_SHORT 32700
     
     and, if you get complaints about too many rules, make the following change too:
     
     	#define YY_TRAILING_MASK 0x200000
     	#define YY_TRAILING_HEAD_MASK 0x400000
