Subject: gawk: Odd regexp matching problem if LANG=ja_JP

Package: gawk
Version: 1:3.1.4-1
Severity: normal

Executing the following line in a shell:

   echo -e '--- orig/lisp/ChangeLog\n+++ mod/lisp/ChangeLog' | LANG=ja_JP gawk '/[Cc]hangeLog/ { print }'

yields not the expected two lines of output, but instead only the first one:

   --- orig/lisp/ChangeLog

If the LANG-setting portion is changed to use C, then it works as
expected (others such as "de" seem to work too):

   echo -e '--- orig/lisp/ChangeLog\n+++ mod/lisp/ChangeLog' | LANG=C gawk '/[Cc]hangeLog/ { print }'

yields:

   --- orig/lisp/ChangeLog
   +++ mod/lisp/ChangeLog

I'm not sure if the actual encoding has any impact -- ja_JP, ja_JP.utf8,
and ja_JP.eucjp all exhibit the same problem.

Thanks,

-Miles
