[James Troup]

Hi Aharon,

This bug report comes from the Debian bug tracking system.  You can

Like my other bug, this is a regression from 3.1.0 and I've reproduced
this problem with 3.1.2d.

| After upgrading gawk from woody to sid, I found one of my scripts not
| working. I explored this a little and found minimal script to reproduce
| the problem.
| 
| File bug.awk is the following:
| 
| BEGIN  {
|   WI_total = 0
| }
| {
|   WI_total++
|   {
|     split (  $1, sws, "_" )
|     a = sws[1]
|   }
|   print(sws[1])
|   print(a)
| }
| 
| The second print should output the same what first print poutputs, but
| with gawk 3.1.2-2 it outputs nothing:
| > echo a_b | gawk -f bug.awk
| a
| 
| >
| 
| With gawk from stable I get what expexted:
| > echo a_b | gawk -f bug.awk
| a
| a
| >
| 
| If I remove "WI_total++" line, bug disapperas
