# VERIFICATION FOR XENIAL/YAKKETY/ZESTY #

For Xenial, Yakkety Zesty, there is no easy way for me to reproduce the situation.
Most of the troubleshooting has been done through coredump analysis and code inspection on my side.

It is clear for me that all supported stable releases (Xenial/Yakkety/Zesty) are affected by this bug at code inspection.

Walter, the reporter of this bug, has a in-house reproducer, but so far he only has tested on Trusty because it was his main interest.

Unless Walter is amenable to test on Xenial/Yakkety/Zesty as well, there is no clear reproducer as of today except his in-house ksh script, but again based on code inspection I'm confident that this need to be part of ksh package for Xenial/Yakkety/Zesty.

Note that there isn't much change between ksh on Trusty and Artful, meaning the package is pretty much the same for every stable releases. ksh is a unmaintained project with no new development nowadays.
