This is a bug report, for gawk version 2.10. I'm using gawk on
a Gould running UTX/3.2. This is BSD 4.3 compatible as far as
I can tell.
The problem is this:
getline <filename
hangs if 'filename' does not exist, rather than returning a -1. The
context I am using this is
if (getline <filename > 0)
:
else
