gawk problem with UTF-8

This can be workarounded by setting LC_CTYPE=C or LC_CTYPE=en_US, but I want to use UTF-8.

test.txt

s  a

s  b
ss c
s  d

test.awk

{
    length($1)
}

env LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 gawk -f test.awk test.txt

Re: gawk problem with UTF-8

my LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
.. are you sure you've set-up your locales correctly ?

Re: gawk problem with UTF-8

I tried compile from source. 3.1.4 and the cvs version both work fine, only 3.1.5 has this problem.
