Summary:                    awk does not call END if next is called on last last
line of input and input file has no newline.
Description: 
The END section of my awk script does not get called if i match the final
line of the input file, call next, and the input file does not end in a
new line. If I add new lines to the end of the input file, all is well. If
I do not call next after the match, all is well.

This is differnt to the result I get with the awk program shipped with
Fedora Core 4.

Should be reproducable using the attached files:

./awk -f script.awk input_newline.txt
BEGIN
matched
END

./awk -f script.awk input_no_newline.txt
BEGIN
matched


The second with the no newline input does not produce END.

And to show how calling/not calling next effects this:

./awk -f script_no_next.awk input_no_newline.txt
BEGIN
matched
END


./awk -f script_no_next.awk input_newline.txt
BEGIN
matched
END


The END section gets called this time.

no idea what awk you're talking about, but assuming you're talking about
busybox's awk, busybox-1.2.0's awk works just fine with your example
scripts
