csplit err in

[pemente]

The following text is console output captured from CSPLIT running
under MS-DOS v7.10 (Win98 SE), compiled with DJGPP for Win32. If
I am sending this error message to the wrong party, please suggest
who would be the proper party to receive this message. Thanks.

I am aware that if I change the final token from '2' to '{2}' that
4 files will be created without error. However, I think the parsing
mechanism should be sufficiently robust to accommodate the omission
of the braces. Moreover, non-GNU versions of CSPLIT work without
the curly braces, so this syntax should be supported, IMO.
