What's an "awk bug"?  Why is it better to file it against gawk?  If mawk
is the implementation that has the bug, you should file it against
mawk; or against general if there are a substantial number of important
bugs in mawk that are fixed in gawk, justifying a swapping of package
priorities.  If you're just bitching because you want more GNU software,
you should really find something more productive to do with your time.
