[abrt] gawk-4.0.2-4.el7.x86_64 : gawk killed by SIGABRT
Issue
- We have a script using gawk with multidimensional arrays . Everytime we run this script gawk crashes, after accessing the last entry in the array. We suspect that gawk is crashing, once it tries to free memory. The issue happens on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7system; the crash does not happen onRed Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6systems.
*** Error in `gawk': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0000000002dd99b0 ***
