That attachment did not survive through the mailing list to my inbox
nor do I see it in the web archive.  I put my mailing list helper hat
on and pulled it out of the anti-spam system archive.  It was an image
of some of the documentation.  I'll copy the section from the online
info pages on my system.

    '\xHH...'
         The hexadecimal value HH, where HH stands for a sequence of
         hexadecimal digits ('0'-'9', and either 'A'-'F' or 'a'-'f').  A
         maximum of two digts are allowed after the '\x'.  Any further
         hexadecimal digits are treated as simple letters or numbers.
         (c.e.)  (The '\x' escape sequence is not allowed in POSIX awk.)

              CAUTION: In ISO C, the escape sequence continues until the
              first nonhexadecimal digit is seen.  For many years, 'gawk'
              would continue incorporating hexadecimal digits into the value
              until a non-hexadecimal digit or the end of the string was
              encountered.  However, using more than two hexadecimal digits
              produced undefined results.  As of version 4.2, only two
              digits are processed.

The problem being reported looks like "digts".

Alan please in the future it is always best to copy and paste in the
plain text of things like this.  Images cannot be searched nor
indexed.  Also the original image was very large for a mailing list
Plain text is always best for these things.

Thank you for the bug report.
