>Description:
awk doesn't recognise the period character if ${LC_NUMERIC} is a locale with 
comma decimal-point character. There is a special case in POSIX specs for this 
situation:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xcu/awk.html

LC_NUMERIC
    Determine the radix character used when interpreting numeric input, 
performing conversions between numeric and string values and formatting numeric 
output. Regardless of locale, the period character (the decimal-point character 
of the POSIX locale) is the decimal-point character recognised in processing 
awk programs (including assignments in command-line arguments). 
>How-To-Repeat:
$ LC_NUMERIC=ru_RU.KOI8-R /usr/bin/awk '{print 0.01}'
/usr/bin/awk: syntax error at source line 1
 context is
        {print >>>  0.01 <<< 
/usr/bin/awk: illegal statement at source line 1
