# Firstly, I have been getting the following error from version 3.1.5.
#
#     awk: node.c:515: unref: Assertion `(tmp->flags & 4096) !=3D 0' failed.
#
# In mk_number() in node.c the MBS_SUPPORT code is inside the GAWKDEBUG
# section - moving it outside explicitly clears the string values, which
# prevents the assertion error from occurring.  The corrected version is
# shown at the end of this message.
#
# As an aside, I also noticed that n->wstptr is not cleared by
# set_field() and set_record() in field.c when the flags are set to
# exclude WSTRCUR.  However, I do not have a test case to show if
# changing them makes any difference.
#
# A second problem also occurs when gawk 3.1.5 is compiled with
# multi-byte character support (MBS_SUPPORT).  The following code should
# change the index of the substring "bc" from 2 to 3, but it gets
# reported as 2 in both cases - which is obviously disastrous.
#
#     awk 'BEGIN {
#             Value =3D "abc"
#
#             print "Before <" Value "> ",
#                   index( Value, "bc" )
#
#             sub( /bc/, "bbc", Value )
#
#             print "After  <" Value ">",
#                   index( Value, "bc" )
#         }'
#
# Compiling with MBS_SUPPORT undefined makes these problems go away.
#
# /* mk_number --- allocate a node with defined number */
#
# NODE *
# mk_number(AWKNUM x, unsigned int flags)
# {
#         register NODE *r;
#
#         getnode(r);
#         r->type =3D Node_val;
#         r->numbr =3D x;
#         r->flags =3D flags;
# #if defined MBS_SUPPORT
#         r->wstptr =3D NULL;
#         r->wstlen =3D 0;
# #endif /* MBS_SUPPORT */
# #ifdef GAWKDEBUG
#         r->stref =3D 1;
#         r->stptr =3D NULL;
