Not sure if this is the correct mailing list for my question, but why does this 
cause KSH to segfault?

On ubuntu as a normal user:
$ function hist {
> cmd=$(fc -ln -0)
> print $cmd
> }

$ trap hist DEBUG
$ w
Segmentation fault

On Solaris 10 as a normal user:
$ function hist {
> cmd=$(fc -ln -0)
> print $cmd
> }
$ trap hist DEBUG
trap hist DEBUG

$ ps -ef|grep root|wc -l
ps -ef|grep root|wc -l
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
-bash-3.00$
