[ Sorry for the late reply. The machine with my list subscription had a disk
  crash.  As it lives 250km east, it took me a while to organise a (virtual)
  replacement and DNS update to catch the spooling mail.  Hope I'm still
  subscribed here... ]

Steven kindly told me that too, so I tried the CVS update on a fresh
directory.  The weird thing is that I now fail to compile Octave. It dies on
src/lex.cc (see below). 

Thomas Walter runs essentially the same configuration (a current Debian
potato setup on i386), and it works for him.  I am out of ideas. We tried
modifying the c++ compiler options, but no change. Thomas and I have the same
version of flex and friends.

Does anybody else have an idea ?
