    Problem Summary Assignment to a variable, using either the -v option or an assignment
    operand, fails when the assigned value is '=' (an equal sign)
    Problem Text When awk is invoked with the options '-v var==' or '-v var="="' then var

    of an = sign character. In an awk operand, the assignment

    var==

    execution
    Expected exit code = 0; Received 2
