Got it!
I had 7 following lines
ord1=`expr 300`
echo "Base ordinal is ${ord1}"
ord=`expr ${ord1} + 5` #subsequent module interval counter
prev=`expr 0`
ctr=`expr 1`
count=`expr 0`
disp_nb=`expr 264`
BEFORE the awk call
${FAWK}/"Number_of_Loops/{print \$3}" subst$1 >${TMPDIR}/$$
[ -s ${TMPDIR}/$$ ] && < ${TMPDIR}/$$ read count
Commenting out ANY one of those 7 lines fixed the problem.
It seems I was running out of some resources
but cannot explain what is it.
Is "$(( ))" for arithmetic safer? Anyone?

Hi again,
I managed to isolate the problem to the awk.exe.
Calling like this:
export FAWK; FAWK="awk -F^ --compat --source="
${FAWK}/"SIMU_included/{print \$3}" subst$1 >${TMPDIR}/$$
[ -s ${TMPDIR}/$$ ] && < ${TMPDIR}/$$ read SIMU
works only occassionally. But calling awk without redirection
first works 100% of the time.
export FAWK; FAWK="awk -F^ --compat --source="
${FAWK}/"SIMU_included/{print \$3}" subst$1
${FAWK}/"SIMU_included/{print \$3}" subst$1 >${TMPDIR}/$$
[ -s ${TMPDIR}/$$ ] && < ${TMPDIR}/$$ read SIMU
What is happening here? I am using the 1.5.16-1 version of Cygwin.

Hi there,
I am using the following convention to set variables in Bash:
awk -f /"SIMU_included/{print \$3}" subst$1 >${TMPDIR}/$$
[ -s ${TMPDIR}/$$ ] && < ${TMPDIR}/$$ read SIMU
For some reason parameter "SIMU" gets set randomly.
Could this be due W2K's buffering in creation of
temporary file ${TMPDIR}/$$? i.e read happens before file
is written on disk?
For some reason setting "ntsec" seems to help but this does not
explain the random success of file reading.
