Hi,

	I may have found a bug in gawk-2.10.

	Config: Apollo DN3550, Berkeley 4.2 environment, OS version 9.7.3

	Bug: regulay expression handling

	Code: from csh prompt -

		gawk '$1 ~ $2'
		foo foo
		Bus error

		gawk '$1 ~ "foo" {print $2}'
		foo foo
		Bus error

	Note: these scripts from the AWK book and the GNU awk manual (0.1)
	      respectively.


	Compiled: from distributed Makefile with on change being -

		uncomment BSD line so -DHASDOPRNT coes to compiler


Wish I had more time to investigate this for you. If you want me to make some
test runs or need more information, let me know - be happy to oblige.

Thanks for the excellent work!
