Hi,

The GNU awk, that is present in FreeBSD-4 branch accepts following syntax:
$ echo foo,bar | awk -F ',' '{print "Foobar: " $1 > $2}'
$ echo foo,bar | awk -F ',' '{print "Foobar: " $1 > $2 ".foo"}'

While the awk resent in FreeBSD-Current branch accets only the first line,
while by second comand bails out with:
awk: syntax error at source line 1
 context is
         {print "Foobar: " $1 > $2 >>>  ".foo" <<<
awk: illegal statement at source line 1


Is this intended behaviour?

Cheers,

Wiktor Niesiobedzki
