Re: Printing arrays from the debugger, once again

[arnold]

Hi.

Thanks for the report.  The problem comes from the fact that
gawk internally has several array implementations and split()
uses one type but regular assignment uses another. The attached
patch fixes the problem with the debugger.

I will eventually push it to Git.
