Well, i have managed to install a Debian mawk locally, and could reproduce. I have fixed it and pushed to [stable/*] and [master], and if you update it should just work fine. Please report if otherwise! I have given you credit, too. Thanks for reporting this issue!! |> computers. Really.

You might be |interested in a (side-)project of mine for minimalist KVM VM management |precisely for development and automated testing. While missing a bunch of |documentation since I've not had time to make it suitable for "public |consumption", I think you'd like the general principle: |https://github.com/roburio/vm.

Will look tomorrow! |Anyhow, thanks for your help so far! No, thanks for reporting the issue, i have never heard anything about the problems with Debian mawk. I have encountered the words on Dickey's website, again today, but never looked for real it seems. And noone ever said a word.
