Hi.

Thanks you for the test cases and proposed patch.  Unfortunately, your
patch is incorrect semnatically, since the bug is that lmin needs to
still be available if memcmp() is called if the IGNORECASE comparison
fails.

I have pushed a fix and one of your test cases for the test suite.

Thanks again for helping to improve gawk!

Arnold
