I'm using gawk 2.01beta 13 Dec 1988.

The following command incorrectly produces no output:

ls | gawk ' { while (getline > 0) print $0 } '

However, this line does work (it produces a listing of the directory):

ls | gawk ' { while ((getline) > 0) print $0 } '

This is your bug.  You should switch to gawk 2.10beta; the problem described
in the referenced note is fixed in 2.10.  (2.10 has its bugs too, but
they're being worked on.)
