Hi, I installed the 20080624_snapshot.
The problem I reported with /usr/bin/printf is fixed. Thanks. I am still offended by the default PS1 set in /etc/ksh.kshrc with no obvious portable workaround. The CHLD trap behavior has improved, but is still not correct. ksh88 behaves like this: $ /bin/ksh $ trap trap -- 'jobs -l' CHLD $ sleep 5 & [1] 12451 $ [1] + 12451 Done sleep 5 & ksh93 behaves like this: $ ksh93 $ echo ${.sh.version} Version M 93t- 2008-06-14 $ trap trap -- 'jobs -l' CHLD $ sleep 5 & [1] 12454 $ The CHLD trap does not appear to be executed. -=] Mike [=-
