>Description:
awk seg faults when it has to deal with at least one sequence of characters.
This makes it crash: %*
I don't know if it happens with other combinations
>How-To-Repeat:
# edit conf
Type this
GPG_PW='%*'

# edit awk_test.sh
Type this
awk '/^[ \t]*GPG_PW[ \t=]/{\
        sub(/^[ \t]*GPG_PW[ \t]*=*/,"",$0);\
        gsub(/^[ \t]*[\047"]|[\047"][ \t]*$/,"",$0);\
        printf $0; exit}' "$1"


Now try to extract GPG_PW
# ./awk_test.sh conf

You will get this:
./awk_test.sh: line 4: 18676 Segmentation fault: 11  (core dumped) awk '/^[ \t]*GPG_PW[ \t=]/{\
        sub(/^[ \t]*GPG_PW[ \t]*=*/,"",$0);\
        gsub(/^[ \t]*[\047"]|[\047"][ \t]*$/,"",$0);\
        printf $0; exit}' "$1"

>Fix:
I'm not aware of any fixes
