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

Subject: [bug-gawk] bug related to hash function
Hi there,
I have found a weird bug concerning hashes. For a particular element
x="00000779770060", the value of its hash table
posout[x]
that should be 44, becomes empty (null string). The asignment of this 44
works, but then it gets lost.
If I print it to /dev/stderr every few loops, it is not lost.
I see this behaviour in my mac running El Capitan and GNU Awk 4.1.0,
API: 1.0
However in our Linux server running GNU Awk 3.1.7 I do not see this problem
The error is reproducible (in my machine) and I can send files if needed.
any help is welcome
Andres
