Thanks for the quick response. I certainly wasn't expecting to find an
ancient bug like this. Should I be reporting this bug upstream, or are
you planning on upstreaming a diff?
I've created a pull request to fix this upstream:
      https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk/pull/80

Sorry for the late reply, I've been AFK for the last week.

Excited to see base system awk get synced with upstream. Kudos to you
and Philip for such a swift and effective response.
btw, note that it's not a direct copy of upstream, OpenBSD's version has
various changes (at least pledge and use of bounded string functions).



Thanks for the info Stuart,  that's awesome, I didn't realise awk was pledged. I appreciate the knowledge tidbits you drop from time to time. Your bit the other day about having ftp(1) output to stdout to drop all filesystem privileges blew my mind and I've subsequently updated most of my scripts to take advantage of it.
