I have found some bugs in the MSDOS version of GAWK 2.10 beta.  The
problem appears to concern freeing of field memory which shouldn't
be freed.   The freed stuff appears to be in the $0 area so MSC
routines insert garbage into $0 and probably corrupt the heap.
I have tried mailing a copy of the problematic awk program and
data direct to US, but so far have failed.  The addresses I have tried
are
	arnold@emoryu1.cc.emory.edu
	smsdpg!seg@uunet.uu.net

using various different relays here in the UK, but all without success.
A postal system where you have to know the POSTOFFICE address seems
fairly useless to me.   Does anyone know how to send bug reports to
GNU developers from the UK.  Or even better how to get GNU software for
MSDOS that is more up to date.
