[ts-7000] awk squawk

["j.chitte" <>]

a little awk I had tested on x86 is returning nonsense on TSlinux, 
when I dug in to find out why I see awk squawk:

$ tail -n1 '../htdocs/data/adc.data'| awk ' {printf "%s",$0}' 
16:18:23 0.000 2.104 1.305 2.229 $ 
$ tail -n1 '../htdocs/data/adc.data'| awk ' {printf "%s",$3}' 
16:18:38 0.000 2.103 1.305 2.229 $ 
$ tail -n1 '../htdocs/data/adc.data'| awk ' {printf "%s",$5}' 
16:18:38 0.000 2.103 1.305 2.229 $ 


$ tail -n1 '../htdocs/data/
adc.data'
                                                                
16:21:23 0.000 2.095 1.305 2.229 $ 


So the first line ($0) is correct but the others garbage. This 
explains why I was getting NaN every where since it is failing to 
split the line.

Any clues as to what is happening?

TIA, /js
