awk

I goofed the last time on this; I forgot news quits on the first input
line starting with '.'.  Again:

Wed Nov 25 13:19:47 EST 1981 (reported by cox)
[ ]	The following script causes awk to core dump with a bus
	error:
	---------------------------------
	# attempt to produce awk core dump
	{
		print $0 >data0
	}
	---------------------------------
	The fix is:
	---------------------------------
  cp /usr/src/cmd/awk/run.c /tmp/upd.$$.tmp ; chmod +w /tmp/upd.$$.tmp
  ed - /tmp/upd.$$.tmp <<\!XXFUNNYXX STRCMP(X.OPTR- && (FILES[I].FP IF 848C>sval, files[i].fname) == 0)
  .
  846a
  	/* changed to check for "files[i].fp != 0" in addition to
  	 * the string compare, as "fprintf(0, ...)" causes bus
  	 * errors.
  	 */
  .
  w
  q
  !xxFUNNYxx
  diff /usr/src/cmd/awk/run.c /tmp/upd.$$.tmp >/tmp/upd.$$.dif
  if cmp - /tmp/upd.$$.dif <<\!XXFUNNYXX 846A847,850> 	/* changed to check for "files[i].fp != 0" in addition to
  > 	 * the string compare, as "fprintf(0, ...)" causes bus

  sval, files[i].fname) == 0)
  ---
  > 		if (files[i].fp && strcmp(x.optr->sval, files[i].fname) == 0)
  !xxFUNNYxx
  then
  	: 'compare equal, ok'
  	rm -f run.c
  	cp /tmp/upd.$$.tmp run.c ; chmod a-w run.c
  else
  	echo "Old source file not same version; use diff listings by hand"
  fi
  rm -f /tmp/upd.$$.tmp /tmp/upd.$$.dif
