That's an alpha release though isn't it? There's a few other fixes in
that but probably at least as many new bugs. I was planning to wait
till 93s. Have you tried the alpha? If this bug is irritating you, I
could be persuaded to package it. (I packaged an earlier alpha when
there was a FTBFS on amd64.)

Bug#384797: ksh stops issuing error messages for bad commands

[Norman Ramsey]

Package: ksh
Version: 93r-1
Severity: normal


Ksh gets into a state where it refuses to print an error message when
I mistype a command.  Oddly, starting a fresh /bin/ksh doesn't seem to
help, but clearing out the environment with env(1) *does* help.
David Korn reports that this bug is fixed upstream in the 'ksh 93r+'
version on the web.  A Debian update would be lovely.
