Update lang/nawk to 20050425. Pkgsrc changes include:
Grab distfile from ${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL} where it's in a
${PKGNAME}-specific directory since the distfile has no version
number.
Use the .shar instead of .tar.gz distfile to remove the need
for dependencies to build this package.
Changes from nawk-20040207 include:
Apr 24, 2005:
modified lib.c so that values of $0 et al are preserved in the END
block, apparently as required by posix. thanks to havard eidnes
for the report and code.
Jan 14, 2005:
fixed infinite loop in parsing, originally found by brian tsang.
thanks to arnold robbins for a suggestion that started me
rethinking it.
Dec 31, 2004:
prevent overflow of -f array in main, head off potential error in
call of SYNTAX(), test malloc return in lib.c, all with thanks to
todd miller.
Dec 22, 2004:
cranked up size of NCHARS; coverity thinks it can be overrun with
smaller size, and i think that's right. added some assertions to b.c
to catch places where it might overrun. the RE code is still fragile.
Dec 5, 2004:
fixed a couple of overflow problems with ridiculous field numbers:
e.g., print $(2^32-1). thanks to ruslan ermilov, giorgos keramidas
and david o'brien at freebsd.org for patches. this really should
be re-done from scratch.
Nov 21, 2004:
fixed another 25-year-old RE bug, in split. it's another failure
to (re-)initialize. thanks to steve fisher for spotting this and
providing a good test case.
