Uh oh. 1.7.9 is old. Please update.

Dunno. This is not what I see. What did you have $LANG and $LC_CTYPE
set to? Here's what I see:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 vmbert7 1.7.16(0.261/5/3) 2012-07-09 14:51 i686 Cygwin
$ echo $LANG
C.UTF-8
$ echo "Rücken" > ttt.txt
$ od -c ttt.txt
0000000 R 303 274 c k e n \n
0000010
$ gawk '{print "Length: " length($0)}' ttt.txt
Length: 6
$ gawk --version | head -1
GNU Awk 4.0.1
