The bug has been reported (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gawk/2012-03/msg00008.html) and fixed in GAWK 4.0.1. I strongly recommend to update GAWK in openSUSE 12.1 to version 4.0.1 via the online update. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gawk/2012-03/msg00008.html 2. 3. I've checked that the bug is not in gawk-4.0.1-1.4.x86_64.rpm from the Factory. I think this bug is quite dangerous as users may not notice that the bug is affecting their data (typically only one line in the input file is skipped from the processing). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
