I do not know why, but the following three postings with bug reports
about array bugs with "${a[@]}, a=() and bool -A never made it to the
list. Can someone check the spam filter of the lists for the emails?

"${a[@]}" returns random numbers for Boolean associative array (bool -A):
ksh -c 'bool -A a=( [2]=true [4]=false ) ; printf "1=%q\n" "${a[@]}" ;
a=( ) ; printf "2=%q\n" "${a[@]}"'
1=37792
1=37824
2=
AFAIK it should print:
1=true
1=false
2=
This happens with the latest 2013-06-28.
If you have a patch please share it before the next release. Thank you!

ksh93 returns "()" for "${a[@]}" if I clear an array with a=( )
ksh -c 'typeset -a a=( 4 6 ) ; printf "1=%q\n" "${a[@]}" ; a=( ) ;
printf "2=%q\n" "${a[@]}"'
1=4
1=6
2=$'(\n)'

Subject: Clearing an array with a=() doesn't reset the index counter
for the next array element to add
To: ast-us...@research.att.com

Clearing an array with a=() doesn't reset the index counter for the
next array element to add.
Example:
ksh -c 'typeset -a a=( [0]=first ) ; a=() ; a+=( another_first ) ; print -v a'
(
[1]=another_first
)
I would expect that after a a=() the position where an add operation
inserts an element is index 0 and not index 1. Or is this intended?
