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

[Andres Legarra]

Here
I am gonna try 4.1.3. I'd like to install it side by side with 4.1.0 so 
it may take me some time
I did not compile gawk myself. I cannot remember if I installed it using 
ports or something similar or it came with the OS operative system. At 
any rate, I did not compile it. It is a 64 bit executable.

BTW, I am a big fan of gawk, that we use all the time. Thanks

Andres
