Gawk FIELDWIDTHS and multibyte characters

Hi,

It looks to me that Gawk's FIELDWIDTHS extension is not aware of
multibyte characters, see my example below.

$ cat testdata
CDRegion              Commune             Site
SEV=E4stsverige         Hallands l=E4n        Kungsbacka
SESm=E5land med =F6arna   V=E4stra G=F6talands l=E4nG=F6teborg
SEKronoberg           Alvesta             Stenungsund

$ file testdata
testdata: UTF-8 Unicode text

$ awk 'BEGIN{FIELDWIDTHS =3D "2 20 20 20"}{print $4}' testdata
Site
  Kungsbacka
 l=E4nG=F6teborg
Stenungsund

Can someone confirm?

Hermann
