mawk in Ubuntu and Debian is 18 years, see LP bug #1332114
I think this bug should be marked as duplicate of bug #1332114
Many bugs of Mawk are fixed in a new upstream versions 1.3.4-2010nnnn-2015nnnn, 
but the Debian maintainer does not want to update for an obscure reason.
We need to push here: http://bugs.debian.org/554167
