All awk users on ST should also be aware that mentioned above
documentation describes a current version of gawk, which behaves like
nawk (more or less), i.e new version of awk described in a book
"The AWK Programming Language" by AWK - Aho, Weinberger, Kernighan.
A version ported to ST is an older one, it apparently suffers from
some bugs in an original code and follows "classic" awk, now partially
obsolete. It looks like that one should get back to the drawing
board...
