I figured out that my awk pointed to gawk.  I tried mawk, and got

> mawk: line 121: regular expression compile failed (missing '(')
)
mawk: line 169: missing ) near end of line
mawk: line 178: extra ')'
mawk: line 178: extra ')'
mawk: line 184: extra ')'

I am clueless, I don't program awk so I don't know what the problem
might be.  Are there any other awk flavors to try?

Thanks,
