Package: gawk Version: 1:4.0.1+dfsg-2.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when trying to build a script to format some iCal records
with different timezones, I found following bug, while using the construct:
retval= (date +fmt --date=datestr | getline buf);
The first call allways works as expectet.
The second call fails with retval=0,
if fmt as well as datestr did not change since the first call.
Even small changes in fmt or datestr make the call work.
Most of my dates are different, but a few have duplikates,
and exactly these duplicates always fail in the script.
I reduced the script to the core of this behaviour
and append it in 3 versions test1, test2, test3.
These 3 tests work on dummy and were called with
./test.sh >test_result_G3.txt
The result-file is appended too.
I made the same test on my Apple G3
and on my Asus EeePC 1011X,
the result was exactly the same.
Both system informations below.
Kind regards, Bernward.
