I'm running 4.3.26 on Solaris 10. I doubt anything has changed between 
.26 and .28 in this segment of the code. In the past, we've seen 
problems on Solaris related to parsing and blank space. I suspect this 
is just another of them.

Thank you for the confirmation that the problems does not extend to the 
more common linux installations. This is a defect, but a defect which 
affects a small user-group.

I'll make do with the understanding that my reg-ex can't include 'less 
than'.
