I think the problem is relatively simple.  I used "SUN" cut+paste to grab
the script in question, and I had the same problem.  I then noted that the
#!/bin/awk line had a BLANK at the end of the line.  I have to assume that
when the kernel sees the blank, it inserts a "null" argument.

Anyway, after deleting the extraneous blank, the script worked fine!
