The quadratic problem nobody fixed

If there's supposed to be a literal asterisk in there somewhere, you can escape it with a backslash. Right now two paragraphs are italic because of mismatched asterisks.

Thanks. There are no asterisks in the regexes; I had simply missed the closing asterisk on some intentional emphasis. (And then I also had to fix some escaping inserted by the system to try to correct for the actual problem.)
