Your program doesn't segfault for me, neither with Gawk 3.1.6 nor with
the latest Gawk 4.1.0, also on Windows XP SP3.  I suspect that your
Gawk is broken (there are quite a few broken ports to Windows floating
around).  I suggest to switch to using this port:

The above is the Windows port recommended by the Gawk maintainers.
