This is a bug report, for gawk version 2.10.  I'm using gawk on
a Gould running UTX/3.2.  This is BSD 4.3 compatible as far as 
I can tell.

The problem is this:

	getline <filename

hangs if 'filename' does not exist, rather than returning a -1.  The 
context I am using this is 

	if (getline <filename > 0) 
		:
	else
		:
