% re2c -V | hexdump -C
00000000  30 30 31 34 30 00 0a                              |00140..|

This happens to break the ninja configure.py script, since python will not parse the null byte at offset 5.

Released re2c-0.14.1 with your patch applied (funny enough, you won't see this bug in 0.14.1 anyway ;)

Thank you!
