PROBLEMS.txt

Generally I try to fix problems as soon as they are reported,
and eliminate them prior to the next release.  Occasionally
stubborn issues arise that cannot readily be resolved.

1.  The native C compiler under Irix 6.5 may produce incorrect
    output from libawka if it is compiled with optimisation 
    at -02 or higher.

2.  On some GNU/Linux distributions \r characters may be wrongly
    translated as carriage returns by awka.  This has so far been
    noticed in Intel RedHat 7.0.  If this occurs, the "print" 
    script in the test suite will fail.

3.  The test suite script "printf1" fails on many platforms,
    but not any I have access to.  I'll work on this if and when
    I can, and a patch to solve this would be most welcome.

4.  The shared library support is rudimentary at best.  If
    it doesn't work for you, remove the relevant lines from
    lib/Makefile.

5.  Various code inefficiencies exist in the regex and dfa libraries,
    as gcc -Wall will reveal.  This code is from glibc and gawk
    respectfully, and I treat it as a black box - I've no intention
    of delving into it unless there's an actual bug.
