I got gawk-2.10 yesterday and ran my awk script that had been made for
berkeley awk. I found gawk-2.10 had a problem.
The awk script has the following statements;
"basename " file | getline msg
close("basename " file)
The above statements will be executed a lot of times. After closing
a pipe, gawk left a defunct process. Therefore, in a while, the
execution could not continue because of no more process.
Does anyone have any solution? Thanks.

I'll try to get a fix into a bug-fix release before too long.
