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.
