Why doesn't this work??? #!/bin/ksh # array testfunc() function testfunc { typeset -A env env=( one="motherload" ) print -r $env return 0 } testfunc # returns: ( one=motherload ) typeset -A testvar # segfaults on linux, memfaults on solaris testvar=$(testfunc) # segfaults on linux, memfaults on solaris print -r $testvar I am sure this has been asked before, but I am not sure what to search on and everything I have been trying to use for keywords is not bringing me any answers that relate to my problem.
