** Description changed: The match operator returns an invalid result and fails to correctly set - RSTART and RLENGTH on an unsuccessful match. + RSTART and RLENGTH on an empty match. Test case courtesy of Alain Ketterlin on the bug-gnu-utils mailing list at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2007-07/msg00033.html { r = match($0,/^ */,t); print "R=" r " S=" RSTART " L=" RLENGTH; } This will print large (garbage) numbers if a blank line is supplied for input. Problem observed in version 3.1.5.dfsg-4build1 on amd64, but x86 works successfully. It's also fixed in the current CVS.
