In my daily work I'm rarely using types (typeset -T) with ksh.
Currently I'm playing around with it and stumbled across an error.

I get the error in version sh (AT&T Research) 93u+ 2012-08-01
and as well in 93u+m (alpha) that I have installed here.

(Note: The reproducible problem arises in a larger, more complex
program; I was unable to reduce the program and still get that
error, specifically the excerpt below does not trigger it, but I
use it to explain the changes [in the larger program] that made
the coredump problem go away.)

#!/usr/bin/ksh

typeset -T Coord_t=( typeset -i x=0 ; typeset -i y=0)
enum State_t=( Active Pending Finished )
enum Dir_t=( N S W E )

typeset -T Job_t=(
State_t state
Coord_t pos
Dir_t from
)

The problem seems to only appear if one of the enum-types (Dir_t
or State_t) is the first entity in the Job_t structure. Having
the Coord_t entity first will not trigger that "Memory fault" and
everything works smoothly.

Has anyone observed that behavior/bug as well and can share any
experiences or insights? (I'm reluctant to continue using types
since it might be an unreliable feature.)

In order to trace the problem I will need a reproducer that actually
triggers the crash. Please email me or file a bug at github.

Thank you for asking! - I've just sent you a shell script by email.
