-------------------------------
The network support "|&" may not work under HP-UX 11.
An error message appears similar to this:
gawk: test_script.awk:3: fatal: get_a_record: iop->buf: can't allocate -61246
bytes of memory (not enough space)
Solution:
This is a bug in the fstat() call of HP-UX 11.00, please apply
the cumulative ARPA Transport patch PHNE_26771 to fix it.
The following is the related description in PHNE_26771:
Customer's application gets the wrong value from fstat().
Resolution:
The value returned via st_blksize is now retrieved
from the same info as in 10.20.
In case you cannot apply the HP patch, the attached patch to gawk source
might work.
