Changing the regexps looks like the right fix. Perhaps even \\(\\>\\|\\S_\\). Apparently there's no concise way to express "end-of-symbol" with Emacs' regexps, but I think we shouldn't change the syntax table. "Symbol constituent" sounds like the right character class for '*', event though '*' is used mostly at the start or end of symbols. Helmut.
