Subject: bug in awk implementation?

I was parsing ldif format with awk (formerly gawk) and found a buglet in 
awk with the following script:

BEGIN {
	RS="\n\n";
	FS="(: |\n)";
}

{ print $2; }

Fed the following output:

dn: Some Such DN
gidNumber: 1000
uidNumber: 1080

dn: Some Other DN
gidNumber: 1000
uidNumber: 1405

This is what I get:

one-true-awk:

Some Such DN
1000
1080

Some Other DN
1000
1405

gawk:

Some Such DN
Some Other DN


So, this seems to be a bug in the one-true-awk implementation. Any ideas 
on how to fix this?
