The enclosed uu-encoded gzip'd tar file documents a gawk crash on a "sub"
function string replacement on a 200000-byte line that succeeds on a similar
100000-byte line.  The failure occurs with GNU Awk 3.1.0, 3.0.6, and 3.0.3
on Intel PC's.  Note that I previously documented a similar bug in GNU sed.

Any ideas on what is going on?

Thanks,
