 I put a copy of the complete patchset proposed here:
 > http://www.netbsd.org/~richard/pdksh.patch
 
 as jörg indicated, this seems not to be a bug per se but, but as already indicated in the source,
 this is for ast-ksh compatibility as encountered.
 
 btw, seems in bash, as opposed to ast-ksh, the select clause without the 'in ...' gives a syntax error.
 I don't believe this has any impact, strictly speaking, on pkgsrc as a build shell.
 
 cheers
