[gawk 3.1.5] *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer:

[Thomas Preissler]

Hello folks,

I found a strange error using (g)awk 3.1.5:

Any statement with gawk searching/checking a non existing file results
in

$ gawk '{ sum += $1 }; END { print sum }' file
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x080923a0 ***
zsh: abort      gawk '{ sum += $1 }; END { print sum }' file

Dont hesitate to ask for any further questions. Thank you very much, I'll
appreciate it very much.
