Oh, OK. So then he may have gotten screwed if he
did a buildworld/installworld during the awk experiment, installed
'bad' awk, then did buildworld/installworld now & got a loader built
with the bad awk. Does that sound right?

Wilko. If you can get your machine to boot, copy /boot/loader.old
over /boot/loader and try rebuilding/reinstalling the loader without
bothering w/a buildworld.
