    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/awk/awk.ex Assertions 69, 639, 640
    Specification Shell and Utilities Issue 6
    Location in Spec From the specification of the awk utility in Open Group Base Specification issue 6.
    Problem Summary The awk utility may fail to properly collate character equivalence classes which contain characters
    from the non-portable character set.
    Problem Text The three tests cited in Test Identification all work in the same general way: They create an awk
    script that deletes from a string in the input all characters matching the regular expression [[=a=]
    [=A=][=b=][=B=][=c=][=C=]?[=z=][=Z=]]. Running this script with the POSIX Locale and a
    suitable Non-English Locale on suitable input should produce different results.

    Our awk implementation currently does not properly handle character equivalence classes for
    Non-English locales and so these tests fail.
