# 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
}
