Possibly a bug found

[Igor Zhuravlov]

Good day.

Following command fails to find two consequent newline chars:

echo -e "aaa\n\nbbb" | gawk 'BEGIN {s="";} {s=s "\n" $0;} END {print 
match(s,"\n{2,}");}'

Workaround:

echo -e "aaa\n\nbbb" | gawk 'BEGIN {s="";} {s=s "\n" $0;} END {print 
match(s,"\n\n+");}'

Software versions:
- gawk: 3.1.7
- OS: openSUSE 11.1 (i586)
- kernel: 2.6.27.25-0.1-pae
- gcc: 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]
- glibc: 2.9 (20081117)
- locale: either "LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8" or "LANG=C"
