[bug-gawk] bug related to hash function

[Andres Legarra]

Hi there,

I have found a weird bug concerning hashes. For a particular element 
x="00000779770060", the value of its hash table
posout[x]
that should be 44, becomes empty (null string). The asignment of this 44 
works, but then it gets lost.

If I print it to /dev/stderr every few loops, it is not lost.

I see this behaviour in my mac running El Capitan and GNU Awk 4.1.0, 
API: 1.0
However in our Linux server running GNU Awk 3.1.7 I do not see this problem

The error is reproducible (in my machine) and I can send files if needed.

any help is welcome
Andres
