I think you are trying to read too much from my words.
I'm only saying that in a particular setup (my setup)
busybox awk seems to work. I do not say that busybox awk
is unlikely to be buggy. I've see enough bugs which show
themself only under specific libc/arch/etc. It is not uncommon.

I am using debug prints. printf("here 1\n"), or if bug affects stdio,
write(2, "here 2\n", 7). It's somewhat slow, but it works.

Probably I need to learn gdb. So far I rarely use it.
