Hi David & Neil,
The cause and the fixing are almost the same for the two patches.
Nithin's is simpler.
When matching on "/dev/null", it just needs to continue.

While in my patch, I think I also fix the [^map] matching even though it works.
The behavior of RE in awk does not work as expected, .c and .h files don't match on the
"NOT map" at the end of the line, but match on the signle letter not among the "m/a/p".
(Correct me if anything wrong). 

Thanks
Bing
