I'm not fluent in AWK at all. In fact, my use of it is very fleeting,
mainly out of curiosity. But GAWK does have a very good manual.

I was converting PSR Invaders (MASM syntax) to various other host
assemblers with scripts. Most of my scripts were using sed (Cheap
or GNU), but I did write one AWK script, too.

I've still been playing around locally, making minor improvements, but
it seems latest DJGPP GAWK crashes (while older 4.1.1 works fine, same
as other DOS AWKs). I even did a quick rebuild of GAWK on Linux, but no
bug was found. So I assume this is a DJGPP-specific bug / regression.

At first I thought it was my new script, that maybe I was doing something
weird. But no, even my old script (in .ZIP mentioned at above URL)
is borking.

I think the (valid!) line that is choking is this, but I don't know why:

/NewInt9Hand.* PROC/,/NotIntercept:/ { if ($0 ~ /MOV/) { sub($2,"cs:&") } }

So whatever. Just reporting this in case you know what to do with it.
It's no biggie to me, obviously. I almost hated to mention it, but ....
