Sadly it seems still not fixed:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;      $ .&amp;#x2F;bin&amp;#x2F;gawk -V | head -n 1
      GNU Awk 5.0.0, API: 2.0

      $ .&amp;#x2F;bin&amp;#x2F;gawk &amp;#x27;for (i = ) in steve kemp rocks&amp;#x27;
      gawk: cmd. line:1: for (i = ) in steve kemp rocks
      gawk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
      gawk: cmd. line:1: for (i = ) in steve kemp rocks
      gawk: cmd. line:1:          ^ syntax error
      gawk: cmd. line:1: fatal error: internal error
      Aborted (core dumped)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
I&amp;#x27;ll have to forward bugs from the Debian-tracker to the maintainers directly I guess.</text></comment>

It was both scary and awesome at the same time..</text></comment>
