    Problem Summary TSD4C.00098 This test may fail on all implementations.
    Problem Text
    This test may fail on all implementations.

    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 behaviour is undefined.

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