Seems like more than a few. :-)

Thank you for the thorough review.

I'm not going to go through these point by point; instead I will update
the code as necessary.  If you've noted inconsistencies, it's because
I'm inconsistent.  I don't (or no longer) have the cycles to pay attention
to details of this kind, so such things slip in. I will try to correct
them according to your list.

I added that after a user tried to put literal NUL bytes into his awk
program source.  That was some years ago, so PEBKAC probably can come out.
