Hi Dennis.  Thanks for the report, and sorry for the shameful delay.

And the fail is this:

Ah-ah!  Here lies the problem.  This test is known to fail with mawk (while
it passes with GNU awk, BSD awk, Solaris nawk, and Solaris XPG4 awk).

Not sure why.  And I've never bothered to really investigate the issue, since
all the other TAP tests passes even with mawk, and anyway I didn't know of any
real-world system where mawk was the default awk program.

But now this expectation turns out to be invalid, so I'll have to revisit the
issue.  This is quite low priority though, so it might take a while.  In the
meantime, patches are very welcome, if anyone feels like giving this issue a
shot.
