    Problem Summary PG4C.00035 yyless() chould not be required to return an int.
    Problem Text
    This test fails because it assumes that yyless will return
    an int. We believe the return value from this function is
    undefined.

    The test is making an assumption based on a return type that is
    system defined:

    --------------------

    tp90: The definition of yyless in the test conflicts with the lex
    generated definition. Here is a diff of the corrected test
    and the one originally written:

    < void yyless(long int);
    < void (*n_yyless)(long int) = yyless;
    ---
    > int yyless(int);
    > int (*n_yyless)(int) = yyless;
