Look at this piece of code. It seems that when myinput() had been called
once, for the second time it will return 0 even if string isn't
over yet. Parameter 'max' is 8192 bytes on my system. So the query is
simply truncated to that size.

#ifdef FLEX_SCANNER
/* input routine for flex to read input from a string instead of a file */
static int
myinput(char* buf, int max)
{
int len, copylen;

if (parseCh == NULL)
{
len = strlen(parseString);
if (len >= max)
copylen = max - 1;
else
copylen = len;
if (copylen > 0)
memcpy(buf, parseString, copylen);
buf[copylen] = '\0';
parseCh = parseString;
return copylen;
}
else
return 0; /* end of string */
}
#endif /* FLEX_SCANNER */
