Urgent build problem with Re: patch to allow any character in keyword

Aah, I see.  The original keyword matcher looked for a sequence of the
form

.[a-zA-Z0-9_]*

The new one looks at what nonalpha characters are actually in
keywords ':chars:', and then tries to match

[:chars:a-zA-Z0-9]*

We could try changing this to

.[:chars:a-zA-Z0-9]*

which would probably fix your problem.  Of course, it'd be better if
there was a real lexer for this sort of thing.
