Thanks for explaining how that AWK program may have hung up.  It makes
sense...

My concern was whether this was deliberate (I'd call it a bug).  It also
seems to be a recent change; I'm fairly sure that I've used this approach
to create a PLIST in the past when I had none.


Anyway, thanks again for the explanation.  (^&
