Description
I have found several ways to core printf in ksh93. For example:
printf '%1$*2$s' 5 x
printf '%3$*.*s' 6 2 abc
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
I had found quite a slew of others, but they may be mostly errors around the n$ syntax handling since that is what I was testing the most. Unfortunately, I didn't capture all of them that I've seen over the past several days.
