Hi!

----

While debugging another "multiline" issue I found another small problem:
In interactive mode a simple
$ typeset -r COLUMNS
... locks the shell in an endless loop which prints:
-- snip --
$ ksh93: COLUMNS: is read only
$ ksh93: COLUMNS: is read only
$ ksh93: COLUMNS: is read only
$ ksh93: COLUMNS: is read only
$ ksh93: COLUMNS: is read only
$ ksh93: COLUMNS: is read only
-- snip --
etc.

AFAIK the expected behaviour may be that the "set" discipline method for
"COLUMNS"+"LINES" stops setting these variables if they are marked as
read-only... or am I wrong ?

----

Bye,
Roland
