 it seems like it is now with the r40876 nightly build, but I don't think
 that's the problem. I think the problem is that #!/bin/bash is being run
 as some other sh for some reason.

 C:\Program Files\GRASS-64-SVN\msys\bin\awk
 and "awk" works for me at the MSys command prompt. (It is just a tiny
 shell script that does `gawk "$@"`.)


 fwiw bash.exe and sh.exe have the exact same filesize and $BASH_VERSION
 says "3.1.0(1)-release". There is no sign of `dash`.

 fwiw2 I just ran the awk-using script r.colors.stddev from the MSys prompt
 and from the wxGUI menu and it worked fine.

 I don't think there is any usage difference between awk and gawk, because
 on my Debian install it's the same symlink.
