Perhaps you could give us a small concrete example of it working and
not working. How does it fail? What have you done to figure out where
it is failing? I'm willing to attempt to reproduce the problem if you
can share a bit more detail.
Thank you very much for the offer.
We rewrote the old legacy AWK scripts using perl instead.
So no more problems.
I was hoping it might have been something like "export LANG=C"
or whatnot. But it seems like this problem is pretty obscure, nobody
else has seen it. Since we fixed the problem it isn't worth looking into.
The output was strange. When we ran the awk script it would
just ouput gibberish. It didn't error out, it didn't crash. It ran.
But it was nicely formatted gibberish, and looked like it was doing
something, but it wasn't putting out the data we were looking for. And
the output would change if you logged out and
then logged back in again. Very strange.
