    I know nothing of Manuel's "personal" version of gawk, but it sounds, from the above text, that it is a Cygwin compile. (CMIIAW)

    NO. It has been built with MinGW.

    Will try to fix the issue.

    To me, MinGW and Cygwin are pretty similar/more-or-less-the-same-thing. Different flavors of ice cream...

    (Yes, I am perfectly aware that they aren't the same thing, but I hope you
    are savvy enough to get what I mean)

    And anyway, I'm a big fan of Cygwin, so this is not meant as any sort of criticism.

    Will try to fix the issue.

    I am sure OP will be happy to hear this.
