invalid free() bug

Hello,

giving gawk a nonexistent file as argument at the command line
will invoke free() on an invalid pointer.
This occurs with version 1.3.5

Example:
gawk '{}' abc
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08093340 ***
Abort

I've traced the error to function iop_alloc() which tries to
free *iop, which is static, if fd is invalid.
