                OS: Any
            Status: New

I'm pretty sure this bug was fixed in mawk 20230725, "improve scanner to some
type-checks of arrays versus scalars by deferring this into the runtime
execution (report by Rajeev V Pillai)."

Here's a test for the bug:
% echo|mawk 'function f(a){length(a)}{a[0]++;f(a)}'
mawk: line 1: type error in arg(1) in call to f

The problem is definitely upstream. This issue also occurs in the Debian and
Ubuntu stock repos for mawk and is fixed on all OSes by compiling/installing
more recent versions of mawk.

(The test above works fine in newer mawk, awk, gawk, ports nawk, goawk, etc.)
