I wasn't sure exactly what went wrong, so I didn't set a severity. If it's a feature request, then yes, it's wishlist.

The referenced script uses "asort", which is a gawk extension (rather than, for instance, being a POSIX feature). It's not part of BWK (one-true-awk), either. According to the bug-reporting guidelines, that makes this a feature request, aka "wishlist" item. -- Thomas E.
