# Unmodified nawk prints the 16 bit exit status divided by 256, but

# does so using floating point arithmetic, yielding strange results.

|
# The fix is to use the various macros defined for wait(2) and to
|
# use the signal number + 256 for death by signal, or signal number + 512
|
# for death by signal with core dump.
