The ksh in fedora used to be pdksh, then they switched to
the official ksh, and either no one has figured out how
to build it correctly or it has been broken since it was
split off. In any case pdksh has always worked more like
ksh than ksh does (especially in the area of jobcontrol).
There is also another variant (mksh maybe?) that also seems
to be more like ksh than ksh.
The "official" ksh is a disaster, I wish they would give up
on it and go back to pdksh.
I did run pdksh for a time.
pdksh does not work well with sourced
function files. I have a large collection
of ksh func files that I use for development,
and each func turns a tedious set of steps
into a single command.
That is why I abandoned it.
At any rate, back to my question.
Should I file a bug with redhat or with ksh
maintainers (if they have a dedicated bugzilla page).
Cheers,
