Package: gawk
Version: 1:3.1.5-1
Severity: normal

If the filename doesnt exist, gawk hits a glibc free() checker:

# ls -l blah
ls: blah: No such file or directory

# gawk '{print}' blah
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x10065980 ***
Aborted

That address appears to be in the BSS and should therefore not be
free()'ed.
