# 
# I have a reproducible core dump in gawk-3.1.3, and recent gawk
# versions.
# 
# Consider the following test program,  reduced from a much larger one:
# 
#         % cat gawk-dump.awk

				{ process($0) }

	function out_debug(s)
	{
	     print s
	}

	function process(s,   n,parts)
	{
	    out_debug("Buffer = [" protect(Buffer) "]")
	    Buffer = Buffer s
	    n = split(Buffer,parts,"\n")
	}

	function protect(s)
	{
	    gsub("\n", "\\n", s)
	    return (s)
