What awk version are you using?  (The script tests for gawk, nawk, awk if 
$AWK is not set.)  Experimenting suggests that mawk is deficient in this 
regard: where the script extracts the version number

$2 == "version" { save = $0; $1 = ""; $2 = ""; version = $0; gsub(/^ */, 
"", version); gsub(/\r$/, "", version); $0 = save; }

mawk loses the spaces whereas gawk or nawk do not.
