 | unfortunately, there seem to be some bugs introduced by these commits.

 | segfault.  nawk prior to these changes don't have this problem.  The 
 | patch Christos attached to PR/3406 makes the segfaults go away, but this

 | I can send the awk script and input file if anyone cares to dig around.
