But before you try again, look at testawk.c around line 181 and add a 
line that awk_declare_sym's label_color (use the other lines as a pattern),
then go up around line 138 and declare "int label_color";

Aw, heck, I'll do it and commit the change.  I'll go ahead and add an 
initialization for pattern, too.  Will take a few hours for the change to appear
on anonymous CVS, though.
