Description chuli 2007-08-01 02:45:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
The description about subscripts size of index array in ksh's manpage is a bug.
It says " The value of all subscripts must be in the range of 0 through 4095."
But in fact it can reach 16777215(that is 16M-1)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ksh-20060214-1.4

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.man ksh
  
Actual results:
"The value of all subscripts must be in the range of 0 through 4095." will be 
outputed.

Expected results:
"The value of all subscripts must be in the range of 0 through 16777215." will 
be outputed.
