[gawk-stable] bug: fatal error when getline from directory

[Steffen Schuler]

Happy New Year Arnold,

I want to inform you about a bug in gawk-stable (current CVS version)
and in earlier versions which Paolo has reported to the Debian
bug-tracking system. (The current Debian gawk-maintainer is James
Troup.)
I
Look at:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=407454

If you like it, I write a patch versus gawk-stable (according your
advices.)

I think the suggestions of Paolo are the right way.
