Bug in gawk 2.14 patchlevel 0

gawk produces some rather interesting results when given the following:

    BEGIN {
	5a = 10;
	print 5a
	b = 6 + 5a
	print b
	c = (6) + (5a)
	print c
    }

This is definately bad awk code. (I would never write something like
this on purpose. A bug in another program that generates awk code
caused something similar to the above to be output.)

awk, mawk, and nawk all generate a syntax error when given the above
code.
