ubuntu awk issue?
 

friends,
when i am trying to use awk against a file with very long records (about 230 fields separated by comma) - the first record is either messed up or is completely printed. after that records print fine. sometimes though very rarely this issue happens with records in between too. I tried mawk and nawk also but same issue.
can anyone advice what could be the issue?
Linux xxddffc 2.6.35-31-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 28 19:23:11 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2011-01-25 11:39 /usr/bin/awk -> /etc/alternatives/awk

Can you show us some code, some example data and an example of a
"messed up" record?
