Re: about gawk |& operator and getline on HPUX11

[Xiang Zhao]

Hi there,

With the help of Stepan Kasal, we finnaly found out the problem is
with the fstat function on HPUX 11 platform.

After fstat a network file descriptor, the st_blksize is unreasonablly
large.
After adding the following line after fstat call in posix/gawkmisc.c,
everything is O.K. now.

after around line 85:
if((unsigned long)stb->st_blksize > 102400)
                              stb->st_blksize= 102400;

Stepan, thank you agian.
