I have to followup on my own post from last week. The proposed new version of ksh that I installed has a horrible side effect when using the interactive history functions in vi mode; misplacing the cursor, displaying control code, and thus making it impossible to use. (I'm working on 64 bit Linux.) Has someone observed a similar behaviour?
I switched back to the 2010 version and the history fine again; modulo that real number bug - but I can do arithmetic using other tools, still better than a spoiled history function.

Just wondered that the latest precompiled binary for a standalone ksh is also "quite old" (2012-08-06 BASE linux.i386-64); is above download link still valid? - I noticed you are using a 2014 version. Thanks!
