hello,

i am trying to print to /dev/stderr from within gawk 
(print $0 > "/dev/stderr") but i get the following error:

gawk: cmd. line:30: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) fatal: can't redirect to
`/dev/stderr' (Permission denied)

i know there is something wrong with the permission, i can redirect if
i do it as root, but i don't know too much about /proc to even
understand where the problem begins. this used to work fine before
some upgrade (from unstable) but unfortunately i don't know which
package did it. if anybody has any ideas, i am willing to experiment,
maybe there is a bug in some package somewhere. thanks.
