# This test checks whether ksh93 does not execute builtin command
# "foo" when referencing variable "foo" when the variable is not
# set (this applies to all builtin commands not bound to a
# specific PATH element, e.g. "test", "sleep", "print" etc.).
#
# This was reported as CR #6848486 ('"echo ${test}" with test
# undefined crashes the shell')
# ------------ snip ------------
# This is an odd one:
#
# $ ksh93 --version
# version sh (AT&T Research) 93t 2008-11-04
# $ ksh93
# jl138328@gir:~$ echo $test
#
# jl138328@gir:~$ echo ${test}
# Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
# ------------ snip ------------
#
# The bug originates from the ksh93 "type system" which allows
# an application to define it's own types in ksh93. In such cases
# the output of function "mytype.len" is used when type "mytype"
# has no member variable "len" (note it requires the use of
# ${foo} since the use of $foo does not allow "foo" to contain
# a dot in the variable name).
# The implementation in ast-ksh.2009-11-04 however does this
# for _all_ types of variables and not only for those which
# are a member of an application-defined type, therefore
# causing this bug.
