It's really cool to be upstream for someone else. :-) Thanks for the patch. I'll get it into my code base. > I was going to report this upstream once I got around to finding out > what upstream *is*, I don't *think* gawk itself is the canonical > upstream, they just copy it from somewhere else (again, I *think*). About every year or so, I sync from whatever is in GLIBC. But my version has a number of additional fixes that have not been accepted back into the GLIBC version. The only other possible candidate for an "upstream" source would be the version in gnulib. HTH, Arnold
