* Issues found so far:
1. ast-ksh.2013-05-03 doesn't build on SuSE 12.3/Linux/64bit because
|floor()| and |floorl()| use different types... workaround is to use
this patch:

 typ    _Decimal64

2. The "enum.sh" test can't be compiled:
-- snip --
test enum(shcomp) begins at 2013-05-04+01:29:19
./src/cmd/ksh93/tests/enum.sh: line 26: syntax error at line 88: `(' unexpected

code 3 [ 1 test 1 error ]
-- snip --


3. The "comvar.sh" test running in the "zh_CN.GB18030" locale files to
sort a sparse array, e.g. the output looks like this:
-- snip --

4. bugs not fixed yet (grrrr):
- |spawnvex()| valgrind hits - see
http://lists.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-developers/2013q2/002390.html
- EXIT trap defunct - see
http://lists.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-developers/2013q2/002498.html
- print -v doesn't print compound variables which are members of a
compound variable array element, e.g. this should contain the "cx"
variable declared as "typeset -C cx" in the output of $ print -v c #:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'compound c ; compound -a c.ca ; typeset -C c.ca[4].cx ; print -v c'
(
        typeset -C -a ca=(
                [4]=(
                )
        )
)
-- snip --
