Description:
In a number of cases, "awk" will drop core when it encounters
a syntax error. If "awk"s standard error is redirected to a
file, it may not even print the error messages.
Repeat-By:
Run the following command:
awk '{ ng[] = ; goop = 1; }' </dev/null
and watch it drop core.
Fix:

For those of you with S5R1 and its older version of "awk", the change is the
same; only some of the surrounding code differs.
