since I cannot reproduce the problem on GNU/Linux, it might be a Cygwin
specific bug.

Another idea: put your one line program to a file prog.awk (without the
single quotes, of course) and try
        gawk -f prog.awk x.x

If this fixes the problem, I bet it's a Cygwin bug.

... but it's better to try the latest cygwin package before reporting a
cygwin bug, anyway.

Have a nice day,
