Re: about gawk |& operator and getline on HPUX11(there is a HP patch can solve this)

[Xiang Zhao]

I just searched HP website, and verified the problem. There is a HPUX
11.00 cumulative ARPA Transport patch PHNE_26771 can fix the fstat
problem:

The following is the related descriptin in PHNE_26771:
Customer's application gets the wrong value from fstat().
        Resolution:
        The value returned via st_blksize is now retrieved
        from the same info as in 10.20.
