Fedora Core 4 Gawk Update Resolves Regex Issue Severity: Moderate

The gawk packages contains the GNU version of awk, a text processing

utility. Awk interprets a special-purpose programming language to do

quick and easy text pattern matching and reformatting jobs.

Install the gawk package if you need a text processing utility. Gawk is

considered to be a standard Linux tool for processing text.

- fix #174551 - regular expressions fail if srand() is used

(backport random.c from 3.1.5)
