+Subject: yylex: Make lexer fatal errors actually be fatal
+
+When presented with a command that can't be tokenized to anything
+smaller than YYLMAX characters, the parser calls YY_FATAL_ERROR(errmsg),
+expecting that will stop further processing, as such:
+
+  #define YY_DO_BEFORE_ACTION \
+        yyg->yytext_ptr = yy_bp; \
+        yyleng = (int) (yy_cp - yy_bp); \
+        yyg->yy_hold_char = *yy_cp; \
+        *yy_cp = '\0'; \
+        if ( yyleng >= YYLMAX ) \
+                YY_FATAL_ERROR( "token too large, exceeds YYLMAX" ); \
+        yy_flex_strncpy( yytext, yyg->yytext_ptr, yyleng + 1 , yyscanner); \
+        yyg->yy_c_buf_p = yy_cp;
+
+The code flex generates expects that YY_FATAL_ERROR() will either return
+for it or do some form of longjmp(), or handle the error in some way at
+least, and so the strncpy() call isn't in an "else" clause, and thus if
+YY_FATAL_ERROR() is *not* actually fatal, it does the call with the
+questionable limit, and predictable results ensue.
+
+Unfortunately, our implementation of YY_FATAL_ERROR() is:
+
+   #define YY_FATAL_ERROR(msg)                     \
+     do {                                          \
+       grub_printf (_("fatal error: %s\n"), _(msg));     \
+     } while (0)
+
+The same pattern exists in yyless(), and similar problems exist in users
+of YY_INPUT(), several places in the main parsing loop,
+yy_get_next_buffer(), yy_load_buffer_state(), yyensure_buffer_stack,
+yy_scan_buffer(), etc.
+
+All of these callers expect YY_FATAL_ERROR() to actually be fatal, and
+the things they do if it returns after calling it are wildly unsafe.
