thousands separator

   GNU Awk 3.1.6
   dir | dirsum.bat

          @echo off
          gawk -f c:\c\util\dirsum.awk            (with -W traditional produces
          a constant character rather than random)

                BEGIN { FS = " " }
                { print }
                /^[^ ]/ { gsub(/,/ , "", $4) ; sum+= $4 }
                END { print "" ; printf "        Matching Files : %'15d\n" ,
                sum }

   Rather than a comma thousands separator a random character is substituted.
   In  some  cases  this seems to be effected by what the current working
   directory is.
   with "-W traditional" produces a constant character "e" rather than a random
   character
   3.1.5 has different behavior but doesn't produce commas either.
   Thanks,
   Gary
