[bug-gawk] getline in BEGIN block swallows an extra line

[Christer Lundberg]

In Cygwin gawk version 4.0.0-1, doing a getline in the BEGIN block seems to swallow an extra line. Example:

# gawk --version
GNU Awk 4.0.0
# seq 1 5 > tmp
# awk 'BEGIN{getline; print "BEGIN:",$0} {print "MAIN:",$0}' tmp 
BEGIN: 1
MAIN: 3
MAIN: 4
MAIN: 5

Thanks. My apologies if it is not a bug or if it is already reported or fixed!
