I adjusted the offending line

#define LEN_KSH_TEST_DOWN 2

but I still get the same error

cd filters && make prefix=/usr/local DESTDIR= all
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/hymie/vile-9.8s/filters'
echo "#include <flt_defs.h>" > sh-filt.c
flex -t sh-filt.l >> sh-filt.c
/usr/bin/m4:stdin:2872: ERROR: end of file in string
makefile:248: recipe for target 'sh-filt.o' failed
make[1]: *** [sh-filt.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/hymie/vile-9.8s/filters'

I also found this

C_INT16         0x[[[:xdigit:]]+

which appears to have an extra [

but fixing that didn't help either. :(
