Description imz 2003-04-01 01:56:49 MSD 
gawk-3.1.2-alt1 crashes where gawk-3.1.1-alt4 worked (hinders  emacs compilation; that\'s how it was discovered)

---
for (( i = 0; i &lt; 10; ++i )); do emacs -q -batch -f list-load-path-shadows; done  2&gt;&amp;1 | awk \'/!! /{ r++; } END{ if (r) printf \&quot;There were %d errors while recompiling Emacs Lisp modules.\\n\&quot;, r; exit r; } /.*/\'
...
awk: cmd. line:2: (FILENAME=- FNR=222) fatal: grow_iop_buffer: iop-&gt;buf: can\'t allocate 1073741826 bytes of memory (Cannot allocate memory)


At the same time the old gawk works:

for (( i = 0; i &lt; 10; ++i )); do emacs -q -batch -f list-load-path-shadows; done  2&gt;&amp;1 | /user/imz/bin/gawk-3.1.1-alt4 \'/!! /{ r++; } END{ if (r) printf \&quot;There were %d errors while recompiling Emacs Lisp modules.\\n\&quot;, r; exit r; } /.*/\'

The crash happens after ~ 6 iterations on altair. (At home: ~ 1).
