[ast-developers] ksh 2013-08-27 returns random values for undefined constants

[Tina Harriott]

ksh 2013-08-27 returns random values for undefined constants, for example:
ksh -c 'float x ; print -- $((x.HOGWARDS_IN_THE_SKY))'
2147483648

The value 2147483648 varies, e.g. it can be 2147483648, -nan if I run
ksh with gdb, or 14 sometimes.
