This is hard to believe.  I suspect your problem is elsewhere.

I would say that here, you return a char (yytext[0]) with "a high bit set", on 
an architecture where char is signed, so you are actually returning a negative 
int (when the 8th bit is set).  And for Bison, any negative token number stands 
for end-of-file.

You should actually write:

. { return (unsigned char) yytext[0]; }

Cheers!
