bug path

[Roberto do Rego]

OS  5.8.16-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 19 11:33:03 UTC 2020 x86_64 
GNU/Linux
VERSION GNU Awk 5.1.0, API: 3.0 (GNU MPFR 4.1.0, GNU MP 6.2.0)

Version 5.1 has a simple flaw but it generates problems when executing 
scripts, basically
the gawk interpreter does not recognize the current work directory. In 
other words, it is
necessary to indicate the complete path of the script to run it correctly.
Example:
$pwd
/home/user
$ gawk -f script.awk
Generates error:
gawk: fatal: unable to open source file "script.awk" for reading: File 
or directory does not exist.
Just enter the full path to avoid the problemand the script runs normally.
Example:
$ gawk -f /home/user/script.awk
-hELLO WORLD!
This flaw is also present in the Windows version, making it impossible 
to use the relative path etc.

I hope I helped, thank you all and good luck!
