I can reproduce this. Relatedly -- one thing I've repeatedly found myself wanting in awk is a way to say "give me all text between fields $A..$B, without modification" so, for example: label would be easy to handle; something like: map[$1] = $2..$NF maybe someone better at awk than me knows a clean way to do this already? should we add this to our awk?
