Heh.
I have occassionally been bitten by mawk/gawk differences. One ISTR
had to do with whether
/[\]/
had instead to be
/[\\]/
I once complained to the NetBSD developers that the base system seemed
to have a few different regex implementations. I was then informed the
actual count was, at the time, 17. I suppose that's an example of
competing with your own release.
