It seems that the run time also went way up. On 10 iterations, gawk-4.1.4
takes about 11 minutes, and gawk-master takes about 19. gawk-4.2.1 seems
to run about the same time as 4.1.4 but takes more memory, but still less
than gawk-master.
Running valgrind on 2 iterations found zero definite leaks. That's good,
but it means that the issue is more subtle. I am continuing to investigate.
BTW, your change to disable the 4.2 IGNORECASE speed-up is fine for your
program, which doesn't use IGNORECASE, but is wrong for the general
case, so I cannot include it in the code base.
Thanks,
Arnold
