SERIOUS BUG: No consistent comparision of string-number vs number

[Björn Bergqvist]

when i compare "3000.0" < 4.00 the statement will be true.
Sometimes gawk will do right, sometimes wrong.
I solved it for like this: "3000.0"+0. < 4.00" but ideally some changes should
be made in gawk.

#!/usr/bin/awk -f

BEGIN {
stringno[1]="1000.0"
stringno[2]="2000.0"
stringno[3]="3000.0"
for (j=1;j<=3;j++){
for (i=0;i<=5;i+=1){
if (stringno[j]<i)
        print stringno[j],"<",i," is true => BUG!"
        else
                print stringno[j],"<",i," is false => OK!"
}
print "\n"
}
}
