Re: Include directive bug fix

[arnold]

Hello.

Thank you for taking the time to report an issue. In the future,
please use the `gawkbug' script for doing so.

In this case, gawk is behaving as designed and as documented
in the manual. In particular, see
https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/AWKPATH-Variable.html
In particular, this statement:

        But with gawk, if the file name supplied to the -f or -i
        options does not contain a directory separator ‘/’, then
        gawk searches a list of directories (called the search path)
        one by one, looking for a file with the specified name.
