Gawk does not use strcmp() for regex matching. (You may not have been
saying that it did, I admit.)

The issue is indeed as described in the previous mails, and the
development version of the gawk doc explains these issues considerably
better.

I recommend checking out a copy from the git repo on savannah.gnu.org
and reviewing the doc; I will welcome feedback on it!

Thanks,

Arnold
