 Our /bin/ksh has so many bugs, and no-one is even pretending to
 maintain it these days, that I doubt attempting to fix that one
 (or any others which don't actually prevent its use at all) is
 really worth the bother.
 
 If you desire a ksh style interface, install mksh or ksh93 from pkgsrc,
 even pdksh if you want something closer to /bin/ksh, pdksh is probably
 just slightly better.
