	I can't speak about ksh-88, since I'm using ksh-i compiled under
ISC 2.0.2 (the SCO Xenix/386 compiler couldn't handle it.*) It's the default
shell for a number of non-root users. I had a lot of problem booting with
C-shell as root's shell, somewhat better results with Korn Shell. Reinstalled
with Bourne as root's shell.

	I suspect SCO's "fix" involves the underlying system (kernel, boot
routines, etc.) and not (just) ksh itself.

* Don't yet have SCO's UNIX SDS.
