lex bug (v7, 2.8, 4.1, maybe others)

[stewart at seismo.UUCP]

Lex versions:  version 7, Berkeley 2.8 and 4.1 (probably
won't be visible on 32-bit machines, however).

This bug is not in lex itself, but in the boilerplate
lex pulls out of its library to make lex.yy.c.
The original cast two pointers to type int before
comparing them.  Needless to say, on our 16-bit int pdp11
this causes errors when the addresses creep past 0x8000.
I don't know why the casts were inserted, the pointers were
the same type.
