[gnu.utils.bug] GAWK problem

mackenzi@agnes.uucp (David MacKenzie) (02/19/89)

In GAWK 2.02beta compiled on a 68000 USG machine using Doug Gwynn's
alloca() replacement (because alloca hasn't been and perhaps can't be
implemented on my Green Hills C compiler) and a yacc-generated parser, the
following program:
{ $1=""; $NF=""; print}
prints out several lines of garbage followed by all of the fields except
the first; the last field ($NF) is not removed.
