#From: dhw@gamgee.acad.emich.edu (David H. West)
#To: bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org
#Subject: gawk 3.0.3 bug report
#Cc: arnold@gnu.org
#X-UIDL: 7474b825cff989adf38f13883d84fdd7
#Status: RO
#
#gawk version: 3.03
#System used: Linux, kernel 2.0.28, libc 5.4.33, AMD K5PR133 (i586 clone)
#Remark: There seems to be at least one bug shown by the demo below. 
#        There may also be a Dark Corner involving the value of NR in an
#        END block, a topic on which the info file is silent.  In gawk
#        3.0.3, NR often seems to have the least-surprise value in an
#        END block, but sometimes it doesn't - see example below.
#Problem descr: the log below shows a case where:
#        a) (this may be a red herring) the output of the gawk script
#           is different depending on whether its input file is named on
#           the command line or catted to stdin, without any use of the
#           legitimate means which could produce this effect.
#        b) NR is clearly getting clobbered; I have tried to simplify
#           the 19-line script "awkerr1" below, but seemingly unrelated
#           changes, like shortening constant strings which appear only in
#           print statements, or removing unexecuted or irrelevant code,
#           cause the clobbering to go away.  Some previous (larger)
#           versions of this code would clobber NR also when reading from
#           stdin, but I thought you'd prefer a shorter example :-).
#Reproduce-By: using the gawk script "awkerr1", the contents of
#              which appear in the transcript below as the output of the
#              command "cat awkerr1".  Comments following # were added
#              to the transcript later as explanation.
