The latest flex can generate a thread-safe scanner (%option reentrant)
and even unload the large DFA tables when you're done scanning. Bison
can generate a thread-safe parser (%pure). One pitfall is that you
have to hand over the flow-control of your program to the flex and
bison-generated code, which operates in the form of callback blocks.
