Been fighting a nightmare bug in busybox awk. It all started yesterday when I was looking into fixing CVE-2023-42364 and CVE-2023-42365. I found out that git master did not trigger the POC. With git bisect I found the commit which coincidentally fixes the issue. Cherry-pick. all good.

Today I got a report that busybox awk was broken. The "fix" introduces a nasty regression. Some more research revealed that the commit is very questionable.

So now I'm reverting it, and we are back to start.
