+# Subject: [bug-gawk] two bugs in gawk 4.0.0 with FPAT and pty
+#
+# $ gawk --version
+# GNU Awk 4.0.0
+# Copyright (C) 1989, 1991-2011 Free Software Foundation.

+# # bug due to trying to make field splitting more efficient by not parse all fields
+# $ echo a,b,,c |gawk '{for(i=1;i<=4;++i)print i, $i}' FPAT='[^,]*'
+# 1 a
+# 2
+# 3 b
+# 4
+#
+# # work around
+# $ echo a,b,,c |gawk '{NF;for(i=1;i<=4;++i)print i, $i}' FPAT='[^,]*'
+# 1 a
+# 2 b
+# 3
+# 4 c
+#
+# This bug, as you commented in function fpat_parse_field, is subtle. The null matches of previous call should be remembered across calls. You could make the auto variable non_empty static, but then any calls to patsplit between references of fields will cause it to be wrong. I guess you can either forgo the field splitting optimization by always parse all field in the case of FPAT or make a separate function for splitting $0 only (or pass an extra arg to it?) I am sure you will find the best fix.
+#
+#
+# The next bug is with pty:
+#
+# $ gawk 'BEGIN{
+# c = "echo 123 > /dev/tty; read x < /dev/tty; echo \"x is $x\""
+# PROCINFO[c, "pty"] = 1
+# c |& getline;print
+# print "abc" |& c
+# c |& getline;print
+# }'
+# 123
+# ^C
+#
+# Adding a call to setsid() in the function two_way_open right after fork in the child process seems to fix it.
+#
+# One request for feature:
+# Currently the format for mktime is not configurable. Could you please make it configurable just like strftime through PROCINFO["mktime"]? In fact I have already done it myself. But I don't think you would like my style. It should be pretty simple for you to implement.
+#
+# Thank you, Arnold. Again as I have said before, I enjoy your writings and appreciate your contributions to the FSF.
