Be careful of narrowing your focus too far. I see some things worth considering: 1.) If the "if" you're not showing me dependent on something in global state that may have been mis-initialized by an LX emulation bug? 2.) Same question as #1, but applied to job_alloc() and job_wait(). I'm guessing LX in OmniOS is failing because I mismerged or plain forgot something, given that Nahum says he can run ksh93 on SmartOS just fine. Please make sure you're looking at the bigger picture, but THANK YOU for the further investigation.
