Summary: awk behaving awkwardly..

Initial Comment:
I have gnu tools and mingw on my windows XP notebook. When I try awk in mingw, end result is really disappointing. If I use awk in windows XP's command line windows, everything works fine. please check out attached screen shots for details.

Message:
We don't support gnutools versions of software.  If you want to execute awk
use the one provided by MSYS.  You should find it in the /bin directory
when in the MSYS shell.
