# Unmodified nawk prints the 16 bit exit status divided by 256, but # does so using floating point arithmetic, yielding strange results. # # The fix is to use the various macros defined for wait(2) and to # use the signal number + 256 for death by signal, or signal number + 512 # for death by signal with core dump.
