There's a rather nasty memory leak in gawk 3.1.0 when a next statement
is called from within a for (index in array) loop. For example, this gawk
program eventually consumes over 100 megs after processing around 2 million
lines:
BEGIN {
x[1] = 0
}
{
for (i in x)
next
}
I assume the for (i in x) construct must allocate some memory that isn't
freed when the loop is exited via the next statement.
