run_check problem

Hi all,

I'm getting an error in run_check.sh on Solaris.


MULTIBYTE=;export MULTIBYTE; \
/bin/sh ./run_check.sh solaris_sparc
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 2
awk: illegal statement near line 2
=============== Create ./tmp_check directory           ================
.
.


This is due to 2 problems.

1) The awk script is broken over 2 lines.
2) Solaris's awk does not seem to understand REs in split(). (nawk's OK)

1 is easy to fix, 2 is tricky - to remain portable.

Keith.
