Re: locale-dependent assertion failure in gawk 3.1.5

[Andrew J. Schorr]

I've done some further testing and simplified the test script (attached).

Interestingly, the script does NOT cause an assertion failure on
my 64-bit linux 2.6 opteron box with gcc 4.0.2.

On 32-bit linux FC1 with gcc 3.3.2, it fails (with LANG set to en_US.UTF-8)
with gawk 3.1.5, but not 3.1.3.

On 32-bit linux FC4 with gcc 4.0.2, it fails with gawk 3.1.5, but gawk
3.1.4 works fine.

On solaris 8 sparc 32-bit with gcc 2.95.3, it fails with gawk 3.1.5,
but works fine with gawk 3.0.6, 3.1.2, & 3.1.3. 

In all cases, it works fine if LANG is set to C or en_US.

Can anybody duplicate this problem?  Any idea what's going wrong?

Regards,
Andy
