# I have a problem with gawk 3.0.3 on linux with libc 5.4.33.

# The memory is corrupted, if I use OFMT = "%.12g".

# With OFMT = "%.6g" evrything works fine, but I don't have enough

# digits for the computation.

# 

# Thanks a lot,

# Florian La Roche

# 

# Here is the sample awk-Script together with sample data:

# 

BEGIN {

		OFMT = "%.12g"

		big = 99999999999

		lowest = big

		small = 0

		highest = small

		dir = ""

	}

$0 ~ /^[0-9]+$/ {

	# some old awks do not think $0 is numeric, so use $1

	if ($1 < lowest)

		lowest = $1

	if ($1 > highest)

		highest = $1

	next

}

$0 ~ /\/\.:$/ {

	if (dir != "") {

		if (highest != small)

			print dir, highest, lowest

		else

			print dir, "-", "-"

	}

	dir = substr($0, 1, length($0)-3)	# trim off /.:

	lowest = big

	highest = small

}
