Hello,

I found that gawk gives "fatal: division by zero attempted"
when invoked on a she-bang line of a script with an -F option,
regardless of what the script tries to do.

$ /usr/bin/awk --version
GNU Awk 3.1.8
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991-2010 Free Software Foundation.
...

$ cat bin/test-awk                      # a minimal example; does nothing
#!/usr/bin/awk -F: --exec

$ echo "1:2" | bin/test-awk                             # error
awk: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) fatal: division by zero attempted

$ echo "1:2" | LC_ALL=C bin/test-awk                    # error
awk: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) fatal: division by zero attempted

$ echo "1:2" | /usr/bin/awk -F: --exec bin/test-awk     # no error

It was tested on Ubuntu 11.10.
Can you confirm and fix this error, please?

Thank you,
