Patch Level: 4
Release Status: maint

Description:
        The builtin "printf" command with the "-v" option works
        correctly, but it reports failure by setting $? to 1.

        The problem was introduced by this commit; I've confirmed
        that it doesn't occur with its immediate predecessor.

        commit a30f513fc4cd507e74de6f0d0006b289a017a0d0
        Author: Chet Ramey <chet.ramey@case.edu>

            more changes to handle @ and * as associative array keys


Repeat-By:
        if printf -v foo bar ; then echo OK ; else echo FAILED ; fi
