Aha!  I found that message, and there, it's some version of nawk that's
being run, and the error is:

	/usr/bin/nawk: illegal primary in regular expression * at
	source line number 37
	context is
                         >>>  gsub("*","",status) <<<

OK, so it's the same error.   But I do not have this problem on several
sites running 4.2.1, so why would a more recent version fix an error on
one computer?
