Some Linux systems, notably RedHat systems through RedHat 4.1, have the
|
|
symbolic links for /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout messed up. Specifically,
|
|
/dev/stdin is linked to ../proc/self/fd/1 and /dev/stdout to
|
|
../proc/self/fd/0. This is backwards. This causes strange behavior
|
|
when using those files from within gawk.
|
|
|
|
Removing and redoing the symlinks fixes the problem. It is fixed in
|
|
post-4.1 RedHat Linux.
