I've managed to get both the binary solaris release of ast-ksh
(2008-02-??) and today's latest release built from CVS (2008-11-04)
into a state where the "jobs" alias consistently returns garbage, and
I'm trying to figure out how it gets into this state - any suggestions ?

Here is the problem :

Every time I run any command, it gets added to the jobs list, even if no
command is actually run, let alone in the background:

$ env 
... 
$ josb
/home/cmob/bin/sol10.sun4/ksh: josb: not found [No such file or
directory]
$ jobs
[3] +  Running                 josb
[2] -  Running                 env
[1]    Running                 env
$ jobs
[4] +  Running                 jobs
[3] -  Running                 josb
[2]    Running                 env
[1]    Running                 env
$ job 
/home/cmob/bin/sol10.sun4/ksh: job: not found [No such file or
directory]
$ jobs             
[6] +  Running                 job
[5] -  Running                 jobs
[4]    Running                 jobs
[3]    Running                 josb
[2]    Running                 env
[1]    Running                 env
$ jobs
[7] +  Running                 jobs
[6] -  Running                 job
[5]    Running                 jobs
[4]    Running                 jobs
[3]    Running                 josb
[2]    Running                 env
[1]    Running                 env
$ jobs
[8] +  Running                 jobs
[7] -  Running                 jobs
[6]    Running                 job
[5]    Running                 jobs
[4]    Running                 jobs
[3]    Running                 josb
[2]    Running                 env
[1]    Running                 env


It even does this when I move:
   $ mv ~/.kshrc .not-kshrc
   $ mv ~/.login .not-login
   $ mv ~/.profile .not-profile

But I'm sure it did not do this before I started playing around with 
these files. There are several real large 'nohup' jobs going on - it
does not get into this state before I initiate large nohup jobs.

Once in this state, it does not get out of it until my nohup jobs are
complete.

Is there some setting that could account for such behaviour ?

Any ideas anyone ?

Any help on this would be much appreciated .

Thanks & Regards,
