# | After upgrading gawk from woody to sid, I found one of my scripts not

# | working. I explored this a little and found minimal script to reproduce

# | the problem.

# | 

# | File bug.awk is the following:

# | 

BEGIN  {

  WI_total = 0

}

{

  WI_total++

  {

    split (  $1, sws, "_" )

    a = sws[1]

  }

  print(sws[1])

  print(a)

}

# | 

# | The second print should output the same what first print poutputs, but

# | with gawk 3.1.2-2 it outputs nothing:

# | > echo a_b | gawk -f bug.awk

# | a

# | 

# | >

# | 

# | With gawk from stable I get what expexted:

# | > echo a_b | gawk -f bug.awk

# | a

# | a

# | >

# | 

# | If I remove "WI_total++" line, bug disapperas
