[hacknews] awk

Increased the limit on the size of an awk(1) output line from 512 to
1024.   Awk can take long input lines just fine.

Awk(1) and spawk(1) have been updated to fix a minor bug and to do full
processing of string escapes.  This change has actually been under test
for some time; I finally got around to installing it properly.  It shouldn't
(theoretically...) break anything.

Fixed a bug in awk(1):  when the pipe operator was used, awk did not
wait for its children to finish before it terminated.  Fix roughly
follows the one sent out on the net by Jeff Stearns.
