    Problem Text
    This was refused because it is a duplicate. Use TSD4C.00098 instead.

    The test is attempting to verify left associativity of addition. It is
    relying on a floating point overflow error to indicate failure of this
    test. However, the Lexical Convention Section of the XCU awk spec
    states

    If the value is too large or too small to be representable,
    the behavior is undefined.

    There is no portable way to test this assertion.
    This test should be marked untestable.

    (This is a re-submission of Gnats 2679. Gnats 2679 referred to
    awk tp108 and tp117. Test 108 has been made untested, but not 117.
    Test 117 should also be untested.)

    Review Response
    The submitter is correct but a recent ruling regarding this issue
    exists. To avoid the confusion duplicate rulings regarding the same
    might cause we recommend this request be refused and the submitter
    use TSD4C.00098 instead.
