Note that "[ \*]" will be parsed as "[ *]".  Perhaps you meant to use
"[ \\*]"?

No.  The down_1() function returns an integer that you are not handling.
You should use either

   () = down_1 ();
or
   go_down_1();

Here is another alternative:

   bob ();
   ifnot (eobp ()) do
     {
        ifnot (re_looking_at("[ *] ")) insert("  ");
     }
   while (down_1());

I hope this helps.
