I'm not seeing that problem, but the latest netrw insures that
s:didstarstar exists. Please download a copy from my website:

Hmm, that looks problematic, because it looks like where vim's system

I confirm: as the message said, the latest netrw requires 7.3.465, which
is referring to vim's patch level.
