Sun Cluster 'awk' errors

Just noticed this bug in the output of the 'cluster status' command in Sun Cluster 3.2 and thought I'd share it.
awk: insufficient memory for string storage Context is:
>>> <<<
awk: insufficient memory for string storage Context is:
>>> <<<
This appears half way down the output. Everything seems formatted correctly so, I'm not sure exactly what awk is doing.

The work-around is to change your PATH to ensure /usr/bin/awk is used before /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.

It seems historically there have been similar errors in sun cluster -- not sure how this one crept it's way in.
