Synopsis: Configure causes gawk to drop core with a blown stack State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Wed Aug 20 15:43:28 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: Interesting. I can't find anything that changed in that area between 1.2.1 and 1.2.3, and gawk 3.0.0 on other platforms doesn't do this as far as I can see. If you can track down any particular change that caused this or a workaround, let us know, but otherwise there doesn't look to be much we can do.
