Subject: My CPU Hates Me

Pattern matching problem. This time, it doesn't print out any thing  
and just soaks up my CPU. I tried slowly adding more and more for it  
to do, and it worked great -- until TABLE7. Then it just soaks up my  
CPU and makes me cry. At first, when nothing was printing, I added  
$stdout.flush to make it print. But it didn't print! This makes me  
think that it's something in the when part.

Whats going on?

Help!
