gawk version 3.1.0 will not print a ";"

[Mandeep Chadha]

The file "tmp" contains the following lines:

A
B
C
D

and when I run the command:

        gawk '{print "Input = "$_" ; "}' tmp

I get the following output:

Input = A
Input = B
Input = C
Input = D

while I expect the following output:

Input = A ;
Input = B ;
Input = C ;
Input = D ;

Running gawk --version produces the following output:

I am running this on a i686 machine that is running RedHat 7.2 (out of the box).

Thanks,
