I think I found the problem. It uses ${AWK}.

On some of my systems, I have been using mawk for almost a year.

Your quotemeta() function is for preparing the backslashes for use with
GNU gawk.

Can these backslashes be removed and still work with gawk?

Do other operating systems all have AWK as a GNU gawk? (And maybe I should
leave mawk behind?)
