Re: NOBUG - er, at least regarding double tabs.

I notice you've got asterisks in some of your regexes:

 > */10^I*^I*^I*^I*^Iroot^I/usr/local/bin/bsdsar_gather$

Remember that in regex-ese, asterisk means "zero or more of the previous 
entity".  So "^I*^I" means "zero or more tabs, followed by a tab. 
Double-tabs will get swallowed up by the greedy regex.  You probably 
need to escape the asterisks.

Also, you should use ${tab} to make it all more readable!!
