This seems to be a false positive - this is in awk code:

 # work out how far we have to scale it up with pnmstretch so that the
 # new width is >= the target width.
 int_scale=`awk '
 BEGIN {
 int_scale=1;int_width='"$width"'
 while(int_width<'"$target_width"')
   {
   int_scale++
   int_width+='"$width"'                            <== line 44
   }
 print int_scale
 }'`
