          thanks to jeffrey friedl for several of these.
+ May 28, 1996:
+         fixed appalling but apparently unimportant bug in parsing octal
+         numbers in reg exprs.
+         explicit hex in reg exprs now limited to 2 chars: \xa, \xaa.
+ Jun 28, 1996:
+         changed field-splitting to conform to posix definition: fields are
+         split using the value of FS at the time of input; it used to be
+         the value when the field or NF was first referred to, a much less
+         predictable definition.  thanks to arnold robbins for encouragement
+         to do the right thing.
+ Jun 29, 1996:
+         fixed awful bug in new field splitting; didn't get all the places
+         where input was done.
