8 #The following seems to be a bug in gawk. I have tried as I could to
9 #minimize the bug-causing program, so of course it does not seem to do
10 #anything useful in its present form. The error message received is:
12 #gawk: test.awk:15: fatal error: internal error
15 #Note that there is an attached file that the program reads, called "a". I
16 #played with the program a fair bit and my feeling is that the error is
17 #related with the delete statement, and not the reading of the file and the
18 #close statement. At one point I was able to remove the file reading and
19 #still obtain the error. If, for example, I remove the close statement and
20 #make two copies of the file instead, (reading one copy in sub1 and the
21 #other in sub2), the error still occurs.
23 #The operating system is Red Hat Linux, version 6.0, the gawk is version
24 #3.0.4, and the gawk was obtained from an rpm file gawk-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm.

30 # ADR: modified to use INPUT, so can set it from command line.
31 # When run, no output is produced, but it shouldn't core
34 # The program bug is to not close the file in sub2.
37 # while (getline < "a" == 1) i++
38 while (getline < INPUT == 1) i++
46 # while (getline < "a" == 1) z[++i] = $1
47 while (getline < INPUT == 1) z[++i] = $1
48 for(i in z) y[i] = x[i] + z[i]
51 function sub3(x, y, z) {
53 for(i=1; i<=4; i++) z[i] = y[i]
