Probable duplicate of gnu/7821 and gnu/12935. The patch included in this PR is either harmless or correct (probably the latter). For the moment I've declined to apply it since I'd prefer to see gawk upgraded in the contrib section and applying the patch would create more conflicts when the upgrade occurs. However, if nobody upgrades gawk within a reasonable time period, the patch should be applied to see what it fixes.
