Andreas,

Please see the attached patch. It is relative to the current
code in the gawk-5.3-stable branch in gawk's Git repo.

I bit the bullet and implemented my own versions of system()
and popen() in order to be able to reset SIGPIPE in the
child.  I expect that this closes off the race condition(s).

It passes the test suite for me. Please apply this and run
your tests a few times and let me know what you think.

Much thanks,

Arnold
