+#
+# When I run the following AWK file...
+#
+BEGIN {
+ $0 = "00E0";
+ print $0 ", " ($0 && 1) ", " ($0 != "");
+ $1 = "00E0";
+ print $1 ", " ($1 && 1) ", " ($1 != "");
+}
+#
+# With the SimTel version of GAWK 3.1.1 for Windows (downloadable from
+# ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/), I get the following
+# output...
+#
+# 00E0, 0, 1
+# 00E0, 1, 1
+#
+# With the Cygwin version of GAWK 3.1.1 for Windows, I get...
+#
+# 00E0, 1, 1
+# 00E0, 1, 1
+#
+# As far as I know, if "$0" isn't blank, the value of "($0 && 1)" should be
+# "1" (true). I get the same problem if I substitute "00E0" with "00E1" to
+# "00E9". Other strings don't have have this problem (for example, "00EA").
+# The problem occurs whether I use file input or whether I manually assign
+# "$0" (as above).
+#
+# The problem is also discussed in a comp.lang.awk posting ("Bug in GAWK
+# 3.1.1?", Dec. 27, 2002).
