I downloaded the binary from http://www2.research.att.com/sw/download/
and can confirm your results from the test case.

I suspect that this is because you are running a very old ksh93. Here is
what I get on ubuntu linux x86_63.13.0-30-generic4 release .
$ print $(( log(2.171828) ))
0.775569209249095711
$ print $(( log(200.0) / log(2.171828) ))
18.7071090052317417
$ print $(( log(200.0) / log(2) ))
