I am using the opencsw build of gawk 4.0.0 on an x86-64 machine. It is built as
a 32bit binary (ie not using -m64). Everything seems to run fine until the
system has been up long enough for the inode for FIFO's has exceeded the 32bit
limit. You can check this on a solaris machine by running :
echo | ls -i /proc/self/fd/0
I believe the easiest solution would be to patch the upstream source to use
stat64 instead of just stat. I've downloaded the 4.0.0 source and ran into some
issues trying this. Particularly with some of the yacc generated code. I'm
willing to help with the patch and to test with a system where 64bit inodes
exist. I just believe the long term fix belongs upstream.
