AFAICR there was a lot of bugs in the last few years with ksh93. That was every version update required due security and/or regressions had caused several further regressions. Now it seems there is a almost stable version not causing a lot of bug reports. Therefore only real bugs will require a update or backport to an exiting product. And backport only will happen if it is possible to backport without huge efforts. bug #488722 ksh: "set" crashes on empty array bug #502622 ksh: assigning to SECONDS in a subshell causes corruption/crash bug #520598 memory leak in ksh bug #523212 ksh error when "~user" is used and NIS is enabled bug #548588 ksh script issues in output redirection through | or > (guessing parallelization problem) bug #555938 ksh cursor position regression bug #561405 ksh JM 93t+ 2009-01-20 bug bug #564967 Trap does not work on signals over 16 in ksh bug #585244 regression: ksh not detecting exit status correctly bug #591248 Unreliable results in ksh when trapping SIGCHILD bug #627524 ksh anomaly when using the "-" parameter in a pipe context bug #636389 nv_putv() segfault in ksh bug #661875 ksh: $0 in posix function is changed to the name of the function (GPFS) bug #663057 ksh doesn't send SIGHUP to child processes when terminal closes bug #676885 Problem with ksh-93t-13.14.2 bug #677790 ksh pipe and command substitution confused bug #690623 ksh here document corruption bug #697394 ksh pipe and error redirection blocks script bug #703854 ksh message catalogs out of sync bug #704030 ksh exit status not correct (the programme return 2, but echo $? retrun 0 ) bug #706968 ksh reporting wrong pid (DB2) bug #743244 ksh93u job control failure when backgrounding processes bug #744355 ksh: builtin ulimit fails sporadically bug #744589 ksh-93u memory leak, crashes, weirdness bug #744992 ksh segfault on %0s bug #751935 ksh exits abruptly without any errors or core dump (GPFS) bug #753845 Piping output to more under ksh causes hang on SLES11SP1 s390x bug #755287 ksh93u inconsistent behavior of pipes bug #756632 Problem with ksh93u - segfault at 125b ip 00007fe0661c6f96 sp 00007fffbaae8560 error 4 in libshell.so.1.1 (DB2) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"poll" is a new builtin. Unless someone explicitly calls this builtin nothing will break or happen 2. The "poll" builtin appears to have been tested over a period of many months, and to my knowledge is present in Solaris 11 since 2008 About the impressive bug list, did you have posted this to the ast-developers list so that other people in the ast community are aware of it? It doesn't seem to be well known that you maintain such a list. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll do an product update without any need due well defined policy. This policy requires e.g. clear test and beta test phase for eery product including openSUSE. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
