gawk 3.1.2 fatal bug

[John H. DuBois III]

This program:

    BEGIN { RS = ""; "/bin/echo -n x" | getline }

fails in exactly the same way under SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a using gawk 3.1.2
built with gcc 2.95.3 and linux using gawk 3.1.2 built with gcc 3.2.2:

gawk: gawktest:1: fatal error: internal error
Abort

The same program does not fail with gawk 3.1.1.
