>Description:
awk in 5-current dumps core if asked to deference a positional
parameter at a large positive index.  There also seems to be
numeric overflow occuring behind the scenes.  The following
examples show the difference between GNU awk in 4-STABLE and
the awk in 5-current.

$ echo | /4/usr/bin/awk '{ x = 2147483648; print $x }'
awk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) fatal: attempt to access field -2147483648

$ echo | /4/usr/bin/awk '{ x = 2147483647; print $x }'
*blank line*

$ echo | /5/usr/bin/awk '{ x = 2147483648; print $x }'
/5/usr/bin/awk: trying to access field -2147483648
input record number 1, file
source line number 1

$ echo | /5/usr/bin/awk '{ x = 2147483647; print $x }'
*core dump*
