[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#987540: zsh: $((inf)) not handled correctly in tr_TR.utf8 locale

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.8-6
Severity: normal

In zsh, $((inf)) should be regarded as infinity, not as the inf
variable. This does not work with tr_TR.utf8, probably because
"I" and "i" are not the same letter in Turkish.

$ zsh -fc 'export LC_ALL=tr_TR.utf8; echo $((Inf)) $((inf))'
Inf 0

This may be a Debian specific bug (upstream cannot reproduce it).
