the patch for ksh manpage
I'm a bit confused... This bug was filled three times (bug #250359, bug #250360) and this one seems to be the latest. Is this really true for i386 only? And please keep in mind that ksh scripts are supposed to be portable among really big number of architectures (even those RHEL won't run on) and the man page must be really generic. Two of the three mentioned bugs should be closed. Which ones should that be? Oops... Four times: bug #250356 as well. OK. I'll close the two of three for "all" architectures and I would like to ask you whether you could provide any more detailed info about which of the two remaining to close... Sorry for duplicated the bug. Since when I commit it, a warning message that "Product Name "" is invalid or doesnot exist" alwayas outputed, so I tried four times.... This bug is about index subscripts, which has been expanded to 16M. But the manpage tells me that it is only 4K. *** Bug 250360 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've closed the remainning duplicate and set architecture to "all" on this one. I know the maximum subscribt value has been increased but originally I thought that the new limit was 4Mi (not 16Mi). I'll check this with upstream -- the manpage is wrong in both cases. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. I've checked the latest beta ksh (2007-10-31) and it says: The value of all subscripts must be in the range of 0 through 1,048,575. Let's use that number. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
