Well, this error could be that no input has been provided yet ;-)

I'd be tempted to write:

	syntax_error: BOOLEAN is
			-- Has last parsing been unsuccesful?
		do
			Result := yy_parsing_status = yyAborted
		end

but I'm not sure what the consequences are. I don't want
to break anything because of this modification.
