Sorry for the long delay. This bug was fixed in the master branch some time
ago, and it is now also fixed in the gawk-4.1-stable branch in commit
c0c69f02e4d300aebf91516a1a521828f6885b26. The patch is attached.  The bug was
triggered by statements such as '$0 = $0' or '$0 = gensub(..., $0)' where the
regexp did not match, so gensub's return value was unaltered $0.

Regards,
Andy
