Re: [bug-gawk] bug related to hash function

[Aharon Robbins]

Hello.

Thanks for the report. Please send a full program that demonstrates
the bug, and any necessary data files as well. I can't attempt to
diagnose any such issue if I can't first reproduce it.

You might also try with the current release, which is 4.1.3.

Also, did you compile gawk as a 32 bit or 64 bit executable?

Thanks,

Arnold
