System name:		euphrosyne
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.3M (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	run awk on a file with a line longer than 2560 chars.

What's wrong:
	awk: record `This song is just si...' too long

What should have happened:
	This limit should be documented in the man page under BUGS,
unless we think it should be fixed.
