In my new job, there's code in /etc/profile that contains a bash-ism: it's a test to see if the shell is a login shell. From a quick google search and perusal of the ksh man page, I can't see any obvious way to see from within the shell if it is a login shell, let alone anything that is portable across ksh and bash. (If you ask me a non-login shell has no business reading /etc/profile anyway, but people do the durndest things...)
