You're giving people very little to go on, except that you say it waits 
for console input.. (^D is an EOF, IIRC, which would tell your program 
it's at the end of an stdin file)..

Scanners produced by Flex usually take stdin as input by default..

Are you sure your main() is never reached? (e.g. did you put a 
printf("ping!\n");
at the beginning to see?)

If that is the case, are you sure you're using the right main()?
