Hi, I think this is a bug in Gnu Awk 3.1.5
I'm running it on Ubuntu Dapper.
gawk 'END {a=""; while(length(a)<10) a=a "a"; print a} ' /dev/null
this goes into an infinite loop.
while this does work as expected:
gawk 'END {a=""; while(length(a)<10) a=sprintf("%sa",a); print a} ' /dev/null
and prints
aaaaaaaaaa
I think the first example should produce the same output as the second.
